Mountaineering in Scotland
Weekend Scrambling Courses

Our weekend scrambling courses offer the keen walker an opportunity to experience some of the more exciting and challenging ways to the top of Scotland ’s mountains.

Introduction
‘Scrambling’ is the stage between simple walking and technical rock climbing. The routes on these courses all involve the use of hands for balance and upward progress. On some scrambles, ropes, helmets and harnesses may be used and all will involve some exposure. To participate in these courses you should have a good head for heights, a good sense of balance and be able to complete at least a six hour hill day involving rough ground off marked footpaths.

Classic Scrambles
This year we are running three different weekend courses tackling some of the real classic scrambles you’ll find on the Scottish mountains. Choose from Glencoe Greats, Ben Nevis Classics or Skye and the Inaccessible Pinnacle

The ratio on all courses is one instructor to three clients. The low ratio allows us to provide a quality service aimed at providing the individual with the safest and best experience possible.

Choose from:

The Glen Coe Greats. Grade:
A two day scrambling course in world famous Glen Coe. Classic routes on classic mountains away from the crowded tourist paths.

Ben Nevis Classics. Grade:
Two days’ scrambling in one of the most famous climbing and mountaineering districts in the world. The course begins with a warm up scramble in Glen Coe, followed on the second day by an ascent of Ben Nevis via a route on its 1500ft North Face.

Skye and The Inaccessible Pinnacle. Grade:
The Black Cuillin of Skye offer the most challenging and rewarding mountaineering in Britain . The ridge itself contains 20 summits and reaching the summit of nearly all of these peaks requires spectacular scrambling in an environment unparalleled anywhere else in the country. This 3 day trip aims to climb several of these summits, including the super exposed Inaccessible Pinnacle.
