Summary

Whether you are looking at getting off the beaten track onto exposed mountain ridges, complex rock faces or tricky rocky lines running up mountains, scrambling provides you with the perfect next step from hillwalking. Delve into it as deep as you want, leave your boots on but start using your hands and feet to climb over rock. It gives you a good chance to develop new skills and start to practice some easy rock climbing moves. Some of the famous classics around the UK get you to travel into some of the most amazing and beautiful places in the country. Whether you are battling with the vertical vice on 'The Chasm Face' in North Wales or traversing the Aonach Eagach ridge in Scotland, scrambling provides stunning days out on the hills.

This course is a beginner level and does not involve the use of the rope, unlike Intermediate and Advanced Scrambling.
