The Lakes Mountaineer also offers: 

Scrambling: 
Scrambling or mountaineering is an activity somewhere between walking and rock climbing. Part of a mountain journey, you regularly employ a rope for safety, and you get to some amazing places. Join The Lakes Mountaineer to learn the skills to go scrambling independently or get guided up some of the scrambling classics of the Lake District. 

Mountain Walks:
If you have your eye on walking up a Wainwright, maybe even all of them, or if you want to scale England's highest peaks, then you are in good hands with The Lakes Mountaineer. Guided by a qualified Mountaineering and Climbing Instructor and local guide, we can find the solitude, adventure or challenge that you are looking for.

Rock Climbing: 
Single-pitch group days, multi-pitch experiences, or advanced instruction. 
Whether this is the first time you put on a harness, or you are experienced climbers wanting to review and add to your skills, then The Lakes Mountaineer can offer a range of courses to suit your needs. Your time will be structured around your aims and experience.

Navigation:
The Lakes Mountaineer offers National Navigation Award Scheme (NNAS) Bronze and Silver award courses, aimed at building you up from absolute novice.  Each course is two days with an assessment element towards the end.
