Our introductory scrambling course offers the summer hill walker the chance to learn the skills required to climb some of the classic scrambling routes and ridges in the Lake district. We will instruct you during the course in the techniques to enable you to move quickly, confidently and safely over steep and rocky ground, plus the basic rope work and route choice skills to become self sufficient.

The severity of the scrambles undertaken will be tailored to your present ability, from the classic Striding Edge on Helvellyn to Jack's Rake on Pavey Ark or Tarn Crag. This course covers grade 1-2 scrambles.

Please do NOT book your own accommodation and travel arrangements until you have verified that the Course is definitely running.

    Insurance

    It is essential for a trip of this type that you are adequately insured. When researching insurance options, please ensure the policy covers you for the following:

    • Cancellation or curtailment
    • Helicopter rescue (most insurance companies will no longer cover for ‘search and rescue’ but providing you stay with the group, they will assist with ‘rescue’)
    • Repatriation
    • The altitude that you are expected to attain
    • The location especially when travelling to Antarctica
    • Grade of trek/climb/expedition
    • Medical cover

    Adventure Peaks partners with Global Rescue to offer the world’s leading travel protection services. Medical and security emergencies happen. When they do, we rely on Global Rescue to provide our clients with medical, security, travel risk and crisis response services. Without a membership, an emergency evacuation could cost over $100,000. More than one million members trust Global Rescue to get them home safely when the unexpected happens. We highly recommend our clients enroll with Global Rescue, in particular for peaks over 7000m:
