PA Activists from all over met up in the Peaks for a November scramble.

Despite the drizzly overcast weather and slippery rock we persevered through the excellent grade 3 scrambles known as Elbow and Matterhorn ridges.
In short order we were rewarded for our efforts with a bright dash of sunshine to light the rest of the way.

In PA we start the year as we mean to go on.
Setting off in the darkness of a chilly January morning, our intrepid group of scramblers delved their way into the deep valleys of Snowdonia.
Our goal: Atlantic Ridge - one of the longest scrambles in the region, boasting 1000ft of continuous climbing to the summit of Carnedd y Filiast.

Undeterred by a short shower of snow at the foot of the climb, with cold biting at our fingers, we braved the steep slippery rock; completing the climb in around an hour.
We were rewarded with an atmospheric vista of swirling mists which opened up into spectacular views of the Carneddau and the Ogwen valley.
A long and character-building descent meant the evening feast was well deserved!

PA community groups such as Mountaineering & Climbing are a great way for vetted activists to socialise and push themselves when taking a well earned break from activism.

At Patriotic Alternative we don't just challenge ourselves, we pass on our skills to others so they can join us on the path less travelled.
Our activists made their way to the crags of the peak district for some sport climbing this weekend.
For one activist it was his first ever time climbing; he learnt to belay, and discovered what an adrenaline rush it is to complete a route!
