MOUNTAIN WALKING IN SNOWDONIA
40 OF THE FINEST ROUTES IN SNOWDONIA
by Terry Fletcher
2 POLICE SQUARE, MILNTHORPE, CUMBRIA LA7 7PY
About the Author
Terry Fletcher has been walking and climbing in Snowdonia for almost 50 years since first visiting the Llanberis Pass as an awestruck teenage rock climber. Since then these romantic mountains have drawn him back again and again to climb on some of the most famous rock faces in Britain and to scramble on the high ridges. Although a proud Yorkshireman (is there any other kind?) he also claims Welsh blood on his mother’s side. He has walked, skied and climbed extensively throughout Europe and North America and has a particular love for the sandstone deserts and canyons of the American South West. He has been a full-time professional writer for more than 40 years, writing for almost every national newspaper as well as specialist magazines and appearing on television and radio to comment on the outdoors. He is a former editor of Countryman, Dalesman and Cumbria magazines and was a senior executive at the Yorkshire Post. He still lives in the Yorkshire Dales.

Mountain Warning

It should be undertaken only by those with a full understanding of the risks and with the training and experience to evaluate them. While every care and effort has been taken in the preparation of this guide, the user should be aware that conditions can be highly variable and can change quickly, materially affecting the seriousness of a mountain walk.
