Scrambling and Mountaineering Courses and Holidays

For the experienced hillwalker, scrambling and mountaineering offers the obvious next step, bridging the gap for many between walking and climbing. Scrambling up to familiar summits by a route too steep and exposed for most to even consider calls for the right mix of careful judgement, delicate footwork and calm determination. Reaching the top brings it's own unique rewards and is an experience most keen hillwalkers will revel in. So why not give it a try and enjoy learning how to do it for yourself with our mountaineering instructors.For the experienced hillwalker, scrambling and mountaineering offers the obvious next step, bridging the gap for many between walking and climbing.
