Scrambling is an outdoor adventure experience that sits half way between hill walking and rock climbing, it is a great way to ascend a mountain taking on the challenge of using your hands and feet to climb steeper sections of rocky terrain. As the exposure mounts we will use a rope to keep you safe and can vary the level of difficulty to give you a great introduction to an exciting new sport. We will teach you about good movement skills and route choice.
Coniston is the perfect venue for a half day introduction to scrambling. There are three routes we use depending on the weather and the level of challenge! Scrambling is suitable for individuals, couples, families and small groups. You could also combine the day with some rock climbing or abseiling as your head for heights gains confidence. We can help you to try scrambling for the very first time or if you are working towards a bigger challenge such as the mountains of The Alps or a Himalyan trek.
A half day costs from £140 and a full day from £190. The maximum ratio on our scrambling days is 1:4. (1:2 on more technical scrambles where a rope is required.)
