Mountain Skills Days

Scrambling Days

Build confidence on steeper mountain terrain and experience some of the UK's classic scrambling routes with professional guidance.

Step Beyond The Path

A natural progression from mountain walking.

Scrambling sits between hiking and climbing, using both hands and feet to move across steeper, more exposed mountain terrain.

Our scrambling days are ideal if you want to try scrambling for the first time, build confidence on exposed ground or take on one of the classic ridges and mountain routes.

The route and level are matched to your experience, ability and goals, with coaching and support throughout the day.

Who Is It For?

Suitable for walkers who want more from the mountains.

You don't need previous climbing experience. For introductory scrambling, a reasonable level of fitness and some hillwalking experience is usually enough.

More challenging routes require greater confidence with heights, exposure and rough terrain, so we'll help select an objective that suits you.
