Come and join me for a fun and exciting 1+ day of scrambling in any one of the UK’s top climbing destinations!

Depending on your skill level and preference, we can tackle various spots in Wales’ Snowdonia National Park, the Scottish Highlands or England’s Lake District.

Scrambling is divided into three difficulty levels, ranging from 1 to 3, with 1 being the easiest and 3 being the most difficult.

If you’ve never scrambled before, the UK is the perfect place to learn and we can head to to any of Helvellyn via Striding, Swirral edges or Blencathra via Sharp Edge, all of which are in the Lake District; Snowdon via Crib Goch in Wales; and Beinn Alligin or the Horns of Alligin in Scotland.

Level 2 scrambling requires a bit more thinking than level 1, but should be doable for people with previous scrambling experience. Along with level 3 scrambles, they also require the use of a rope to guard against slips and falls.

For level 2 scrambles, we can head out to any of Cam Crag ridge in the Lake District; Bryant’s Gully in Wales; and Aonach Eagach, An Teallach or Forcan ridge, all of which are in Scotland.

Level 3 scrambles are the toughest and require plenty of technical ability as well as thoughtfulness. The line is quite blurry in between where rock climbing begins and scrambling at this level ends.

For level 3 scrambles, we can head out to Pinnacle Ridge in the Lake District, sections of the Cuillin Ridge on the Isle of Skye or Dolmen Ridge in Ogwen, Wales.

Regardless of where we go or which level you are at, I guarantee that we will enjoy some of the stunning surroundings as well as learn a bit about the sport and get some scrambling experiences under our belts.

So what are you waiting for? Book now for this exciting and informative 1+ day of scrambling in the UK!

If you like the look of this trip and think you are up for a challenge, then I think you will also enjoy my [scrambling day at Pinnacle Ridge in England’s Lake District](https://www.explore-share.com/trip/pinnacle-ridge-scrambling-day-in-the-lake-district-england/)!

To be determined upon completion of booking.

**A wonderful opportunity lies before you, a weekend of learning winter skills in the Cairngorms National Park. Just spending time in this magical location is enough but to combine it will practical and fun skills is to double the reward!**

This will be a structured course but also flexible enough to be based around the needs of the individual. If the group is of mixed ability or experience I will work hard to make sure everyone is accomodated.

**The Cairngorms is a famous region of wondrous natural beauty. These Scottish highlands in winter provide the perfect terrain and climatic conditions in which to practice key outdoor skills!**

We will cover all the fundamentals to ensure that you will leave the course feeling confident about braving the wilderness in winter.

**I will cover skills that include:**

*   **How to use an Ice Axe**
    
*   **How to use Crampons**
    
*   **How to carefully choose your route through the terrain**
    
*   **How to use effective winter navigational skills**
    

If you have years of experience out in the mountains but never learnt the essential skills then this course will be perfect. Additionally, if you learnt the skills years ago and need a refresher course or are completely new to the scene, this course has got you covered!

Although beginner’s are welcome to join this course, you should still be of a reasonable level of fitness. You should be comfprtable hiking in the snow at a steady pace with a pack back.

**If you’re eager to get on the mountains and sharpen your outdoor knowledge and pratical skills then sign up now becuase I can’t wait to share this picturesque landscape and fun with you!**

There are many routes in **Scotland** for great days out. In fact, we can find similar terrains than in the Alps.

I have made a list of some routes that include rock climbing and scrambling. Besides, I focused on routes where we can keep moving for a long time using our hands and feet. I tried to avoid the stop/start property of rock climbing.

The following are my proposed options:  
– North Buttress, Curved Ridge or Crowberry Ridge on the Buachaille Etive Mor.  
– Ledge Route, Castle Ridge, Tower Ridge, Northeast Buttress or Observatory Ridge on Ben Nevis.  
– Traverse of the Cobbler and The Southeast Ridge  
– Afterthought Arete and Pygmy Ridge at Northern Cairngorms.

These routes are apt for all enthusiast hill walkers, rock climbers or scramblers. Of course I can tailor the trip to meet the level of the participants.

**Do you want to experience rock climbing / scrambling in Scotland? Then please contact me and let's discuss about what you would like to do and learn. I will be happy to guide you in these beautiful mountains which I know so well.** Another option for [**hiking in Scotland is the Cuillin**](https://www.explore-share.com/trip/hiking-climbing-cuillin/)!

**In a single day, we would like to guide you to the summits of Ben Macdui (1,309m) and the Cairngorm peak (1,245m).**

Located in the **Scottish Highlands**, in the **Cairngorm National Park**, these two peaks offer some fantastic climbs. And from their summits, you will get to enjoy some sensational views of the stunning highlands of **northern Scotland**.

In the midst of the **Cairngorm mountains**, both of the peaks you will get to climb on this trip are positioned in a wild region. With no nearby cities to speak of, you will feel like you are in a different time. And in the case of **Ben Macdui**, the summit is even said to be haunted by the _Old Grey Man_, further adding to the mystique of the isolated area where the peak is located.

Throughout the trip, we will be crossing an enormous plateau. Our trek will stretch to approximately **18 kilometers**, with **900 meters of ascent**. As a result of the distance covered, participants should be in **good physical condition**. However, because the climbs are not technical, **no mountaineering experience is necessary**.

**With a relatively easy, and incredibly scenic path that will take you across the plateau, this trek is amazing. And with the hike culminating at the summits of 2 great peaks, you will have an experience you will never forget. To enjoy it for yourself, just send us a request.**

We also offer a [1 day intro level rock climbing course in the Cairngorm national park.](https://www.explore-share.com/trip/1-day-intro-to-rock-climbing-in-cairngorms-national-park-scotland/)

Join one of our guides on a wonderful full day adventure to the summits of both Ben Macdui and Cairngorm in the highlands of Scotland.
