"Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as the sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves."
John Muir

 

A great introduction to the art of Scrambling, the middle ground between fell walking and rock climbing. This course is aimed at those looking to begin scrambling in the mountains and will cover topics such as ropework and route selection over the course of the day.

 

"The mountains have rules. they are harsh rules, but they are there, and if you keep to them you are safe. A mountain is not like men. A mountain is sincere. The weapons to conquer it exist inside you, inside your soul."
Walter Bonatti

 

A great day spent on the crags of the Langdale Valley, here there is a wide variety of classic scrambling route covering all levels, this beginners scrambling course will begin with some fairly easy scrambles teaching the basics of ropework and good route choice and we will build these skills through the day, progressing onto some more technical routes by the end of the day.

During the day we will cover the following aspect:

  • Understanding the scrambling grades used
  • Basic scrambling techniques
  • Movement on rock
  • Ropework for scrambling
Although we generally run these courses in the Langdale Valley we are not short of wonderful scrambling routes in the Lake District and could run this course from a venue to suit you if required.

Each participant will be required to bring suitable equipment for their chosen event, please see Kit List tab above.
