Highlights

Ridge scrambling is an exhilarating and hands-on way to experience the Cairngorm mountains. Unlike rock climbing, scrambling is about the journey. We'll select a route that will be challenging but achievable and is big on scenery and satisfaction! On this immersive experience you'll get to climb one or more historic mountaineering routes; in a remote corrie, along an airy ridge or up sheer cliff face! This experience is suitable for novices, beginners and travellers looking for a special experience in the local area. No prior experience of climbing or mountaineering is necessary and you'll be kept safe and encouraged every step of the way. Our guides hold the highest attainable qualifications in mountaineering and climbing and are passionate about giving you the best possible experience. We are as excited guided complete beginners as we are guiding experienced climbers and we enjoy working with both the young and the young at heart... We look forward to exploring with you!
