Fiacaill Ridge Scrambling Cairngorms

X2 - Rock Climb & Scramble

Rock Climb & Scramble in the same weekend! A popular course with different bases offering a variety of venues in Scotland's east and west. Learn the fundamentals of rock climbing on real rock or practice your indoor climbing skills outside. These fundamental skills will then be applied in the mountains on some fantastic scrambles in both the East and West. Scrambling is an excellent way to reach the summit of a mountain in an "interesting" manner by traversing terrain with contours, outcrops, and crags. In two fantastic days, we cover a lot of ground.
