What it is Scrambling & Mountaineering?

Scrambling and Mountaineering is essentially the same thing. It is an adventurous blend of hiking and rock climbing, where participants navigate rocky terrain using their hands for balance and support. It offers a thrilling way to experience the mountains beyond the typical hiking trails, providing a gateway to the more adventurous mountains.

The thrill of climbing up rocky slopes, feeling the raw texture of the rock under your hands, and conquering summits instils a deep sense of accomplishment and connection to nature.

Whether you are a beginner looking to try something new or an experienced hiker seeking a different kind of challenge, scrambling offers something for everyone. It is a versatile activity that can be adapted to various skill levels and preferences, from low grade ridge scrambles to more demanding routes that blend into climbing territory.

Laura Owens – I did a half day scrambling course in Edale with Simon and it was brilliant. It was perfectly tailored to my needs. He was professional, knowledgeable and I felt in good hands. He had a great balance of encouraging but not forcing anything, and definitely got me managing to do things out of my comfort zone. Packed so much in to a few hours too. Thank you Simon.

Danni Smith – Fantastic experience and I took a lot more away from it than expected. I did the scrambling course. Simon is very knowledgeable and covered everything from what type of boots you need, what you need in your rucksack to different foot techniques for tackling those big rocks. He had all the necessary equipment to ensure I was safe and gave me tips on how to overcome my nerves. I will definitely use Peak Outdoor in the future.

Jonathan Hydes  – A belated 5 star review of our Torridon adventure last month., it was incredible. Gave me a chance to explore some mountains that have always been a bit too out of my comfort zone and Simon was a perfect guide/leader/support for these hills. His experience on, and love of the mountains, makes for a really fun and rewarding day out. Would highly recommend

Alastair Burnett – Simon loves all things outdoors – it really is his passion. He loves to share his knowledge while walking and his easy manner and obvious focus on safety mean you will certainly be filled with confidence whether you are scrambling up steep challenging terrain or hanging from a rope over a steep drop. 10/10 in every area
