What Does Guided Scrambling Involve?
Scrambling combines hillwalking and rock climbing. It involves moving along and through steep terrain where your hands will be needed for balance and to aid progress. It can range from hill walks with one or two tricky steps to long continuous sections of easy rock climbing.
Your instructor Liam will lead you on any scrambles you are interested in whilst allowing you to relax and enjoy the scrambling. Liam will likely be using a rope to keep you safe for some or all of the scramble. There will be opportunities to learn along the way and improve your skill set and confidence.
Who is it for?
For Hillwalkers and Climbers of any experience level. If you have never scrambled before and would like to give it a go and have an adventure. Through to scramblers with years of experience who have a route in mind and are looking for somebody to lead it and keep them safe. For guided scrambling, we keep the ratios low, 1:2, so we can take you on an adventure and keep you safe.
Under 18’s are welcome but must be accompanied by a parent on the scramble.
Where is it?
We guided scrambles all over Scotland. Two of the main areas for scrambling in Scotland are Glen Coe and Ben Nevis. With scrambles such as Curved ridge on Buchaille Etive Mor and Tower Ridge of Ben Nevis.
We also have options closer to our base in Aberdeenshire at Lochnagar and in the Cairngorms National Park.
