About Path2Peaks

At Path2Peaks, we believe that mountains change people. They challenge, inspire, and reward in ways few other experiences can. Our mission is simple: to guide people safely into these landscapes so they can discover their own strength, resilience, and connection to nature.

Who We Are

 Founded by John Sheppard, a qualified Mountain Leader with over 30 years of experience in the mountains of the UK, the Alps, and the Himalayas, Path2Peaks combines deep knowledge with a genuine love for the outdoors.

From first-time walkers to seasoned adventurers, we’ve guided people from all walks of life to unforgettable summits, always with safety, encouragement, and respect for the environment at the heart of what we do.

 What We Do

 We specialise in guided mountain challenges and experiences, including:

• Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa) ascents – sunrise, sunset, family days, and winter routes

• National Three Peaks Challenge – climb the highest mountains in Scotland, England & Wales

• Welsh 15 Peaks Challenge – Snowdonia’s ultimate endurance adventure

• Scrambling & Skills Days – from gentle ridges to the iconic Crib Goch

• Bespoke Corporate & Charity Events – team-building, fundraising, and tailored group packages

Whether you want to tick off a bucket-list summit, raise money for charity, or build mountain skills for bigger expeditions, Path2Peaks provides the experience and support you need.
