Scrambling (noun) /ˈskramblɪŋ/: ‘A walk up steep terrain involving the use of one’s hands’
Scrambling bridges the gap between hiking and climbing; when terrain is too steep to walk on but not steep enough to require the use of ropes and climbing gear. There’s nothing quite like the feeling of getting your hands on the rock. Scrambling is one of most enjoyable ways to scale a mountain and there’s no doubt you’ll come away feeling like a true mountaineer.
Our all-inclusive group scrambling trips are limited to just eight people and include travel from London, accommodation and breakfasts and lunches (so you’ll only need money for those pub dinners!). And every trip is led by a qualified and experienced guide whose primary aim is keeping you safe.
If there’s a particular scrambling route you’d love to try but you don’t see it listed in our trips below, or if you’d like to book a private scrambling trip for you and your friends, feel free to get in touch and we’d be happy to arrange a bespoke trip.

Frequently Asked Questions
Scrambling sits between hiking and climbing, using your hands for balance and progression on steeper terrain without the technical climbing equipment normally associated with rock climbing.
No. Most of our scrambling trips are on grade 1 terrain (the easiest scrambles) and are suitable for beginners, although you should be comfortable walking in the mountains and able to follow your guide’s instructions.
Specific safety equipment isn’t necessarily required on our scrambling trips. Grade 1 scrambles are an introduction to steeper terrain and technical equipment should not be required. However, our guides will always carry technical safety equipment (e.g. a rope) just in case it is needed.
We offer less technical scrambling options that are ideal introductions before progressing to more exposed routes like the Cuillin Ridge, Ben Nevis North Face, or the various other grade 2 and 3 routes we offer in Scotland. The best introduction to scrambling would be ‘Scrambling in Snowdonia’, ‘Scrambling in The Lake District’ or ‘Hike Helvellyn, via Striding Edge’.
The trips we offer are generally dictated by what people want to do each season. Our current focus is currently on guided hiking, scrambling and immersive mountain adventures rather than dedicated rock-climbing trips, but we have everything ready for when people want to join climbing trips again. Get in contact if you’re interested in a rock-climbing trip and we’ll see what we can do.
Most of our trips offer an introduction to scrambling and consist of relatively straightforward Grade 1 scrambles. The UK has some incredible routes at this grade, which allows you to experience the thrill of scrambling without encountering extreme terrain. However, we do offer more challenging and exposed mountain routes for people wanting to progress their mountaineering experience.
