ABOUT<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What Does Guided Scrambling Involve?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your instructor Liam will lead you on any scrambless 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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who is it for?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

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.
