INTRODUCTION TO SUMMER MOUNTAINEERINGFor the experienced hillwalker, scrambling and mountaineering offers the obvious next step, bridging the gap between walking and climbing. Scrambling up a familiar summit visited via a route that is too steep and exposed for most people to even consider calls for the right mix of careful judgement, delicate rope-work and calm determination. Getting to the top brings its own unique rewards and is an experience most keen hill walkers revel in.
So why don’t you join us and give it a try! We are sure you will enjoy learning how to do it for yourself alongside one of our highly experienced instructors.
“My mate and I spent my birthday weekend doing a couple of the Classic Grade 3 Scrambles in Snowdonia. This was the best few days I have ever spent in the mountains. Thank you Gateway!” Ben & Ian, NantwichCovering the more advanced skills needed when it comes to Mountaineering this course focuses on skills required, including multi day ventures, in what can sometimes be quite a challenging and hostile environment.
