Description: Summer Mountaineering Our courses for hill walkers look at all the essential skills to truly enjoy our wonderful mountains. So if the weather closes in you will be more confident with your navigation. You may decide to bag that extra summit knowing that you have the skills to navigate in the dark.
We advertise two courses the Hill walking skills course which follows much of the ML syllabus in three days and a two day navigation course. However if you wish to a days training in navigation please get in touch.
Scrambling is the next step from hill walking. It includes the narrow ridges that abound our mountains like Striding or Swirrel Edge, or the more challenging scrambles on St Sunday Crag, Gable and Pillar. With a grading system of its own from grade 1 to 3S it can be a little daunting, especially when some of the grade 3 scrambles have a reputation for being easy rock climbs.
