guided scrambling
Our classic mountain scrambling courses for over-fifties are held in Cumbria, UK, and last for two days.
Scrambling is a challenging yet enjoyable activity, not as serious as rock climbing yet very exhilarating.
Our two-day scrambling course for over-fifties combines pleasant hill walking amongst magnificent scenery with rock scrambles up one of the Lake District classic routes like Pinnacle Ridge on St Sunday Crag, Cam Crag Ridge in Langstrath, Easy Terrace on Dow Crag, or Slab or Notch on Pillar Rock.
The course is suitable for anyone over fifty years old who combines a love of the outdoors and a moderate head for heights with the desire to experience a little more than hill walking!

Course programme
Throughout the classic mountain scrambling course for over-fifties the instructor works with no more than two clients.
Our aim is to start on something easy on the first day and move onto something more challenging on the second day.
You can expect to be on a rope for at least one of your days’ scrambling.
On Day 1 we meet at a convenient time, usually around 8:30am, to discuss weather and possible venues.
Scrambles are graded from 1 (easy scrambling) to 3s (hard scrambling that requires the use of a rope).
So we start by deciding on the grade of scramble to attempt, based on your abilities and aspirations.
On Day 2 we aim to find something a bit more challenging should that suit you.
As with all our courses, the days are designed aroung your aims and aspirations so you don't need to worry that you'll be expected to do something that you don't want to attempt.
