Intro to Scrambling.
Leaving the comfort of the footpath to venture onto rocky terrain without a clear direction to follow for the first time can be a daunting prospect. In reality, done correctly with the knowledge of planning, safety and movement it is in fact the best way up any mountain. Kid's especially always prefer to play around on some rocks rather than plod up a path and I happen to agree with them.
Scrambling is great fun, the knowledge of how to do it safely is essential to ensure you don't get into trouble by straying onto harder ground with no escape route. Without a doubt, scrambling makes the day a lot more serious. Perhaps you want to tackle Striding Edge or Sharp Edge and just don't feel confident to do so yet? Well read on...
This one day course is to enhance your knowledge in the outdoors, providing a step up in your route planning and is ideal for learning confidence when on steep and rocky terrain whether it be solo or with a group. Tailored to teach you how to safely leave the security of a footpath and get those hands involved.
You will learn how to assess, plan and move through the rocky ground with a constant understanding of how not to get into trouble or ‘cragfast’.
Scrambling is ‘graded’, we will be covering the lowest grade – moving on from walking, to the use of hands. Rocky outcrops, named routes or even your own made up variation, you'll learn how to choose your route, understand movements and safe processes to have the most fun gaining a summit (or even a rocky knoll).
Rather than the 'guided' way up, I will encourage you as the day progresses to choose your own way, stopping to discuss each section in detail. There is no mountain summit to aim for on this particular day, who knows where we will end up, all part of the adventure in a safe way!
Helmets will be supplied. Usually based in the Langdale or Scafell area.
£65 per person (minimum 3 people)
£200 per day Private Guiding, 1:1 or 1:2
