What to expect

Scrambling is essentially easy rock climbing, but draws on a broad range of mountaineering skills to safely travel through stunning mountain scenery. Join us for a grand tour of the vertical cliffs of the Cairngorms and experience some classic Scottish mountaineering! Your day begins in the morning when you meet your fully qualified Mountaineering Guide for a discussion about what to expect during the experience. They'll answer any questions you have and supply you with everything you'll need to stay safe. After a short drive, we continue our approach to the ridges on foot via established mountain paths. Our walk usually takes around an hour. On the way we'll see some great views and hopefully some rare wildlife. When you arrive below your climb, you'll be fitted with a harness and helmet and attached to your Guide by climbing rope. They'll lead the route by climbing ahead and securing your rope above you. Our Guides will keep you safe, provide advice and encouragement and take epic photos! From the top, we might decide to make our way downhill on mountain paths back to the visitors centre and our vehicles... or climb another route if time and energy allow!
