Scrambling

Scrambling appeals to both climbers and walkers. It is the middle ground and if done well provides the exhilaration of climbing with pace and fluidity. On a day’s scrambling with ourselves expect to ascend to airy ledges, up exposed rock routes or ridges.

We will:

• Ascend established scrambling routes or ridges
• Use a rope to safeguard passage
• Teach movement over difficult terrain
• build speed v safety
• Employ alpine skills

Low ratios are best. One or two people to each scrambling instructor means individual attention can be met. The bigger the group the easier the scramble.
