Scrambles are graded from 1 to 3. Grade 1 is unlikely to require a rope but would involve steep and often exposed ground, where good route choice is important and may be used in most weather conditions. Grade 2 requires the use of a rope and elementary rock climbing skills to negotiate steeper ridges and gullies; certain weather conditions may affect these scrambles. Grade 3 is usually more grade 2 ground with perhaps some route finding decisions to be made. A rope is used throughout.

These holidays are designed for you to be able to come along and enjoy some of the best scrambling in the areas they are held without any of the stress of route finding, leading, venue choice etc. Just tun up and enjoy the mountains!
