Steep Ground & Scrambling Workshop


Why Join us on this workshop?

This program transforms a standard mountain walk into a critical skills development session. It focuses on building your confidence and competence when crossing challenging, rocky, and steep terrain. You will learn fundamental movement techniques and essential safety skills to unlock classic mountain routes previously thought inaccessible.


Program Overview:

Step into the exhilarating world of scrambling and tricky steep ground. This full-day immersion is designed for those who wish to move beyond avoiding difficult paths and become agile, safe, and efficient on technical mountain terrain, without the need for ropes or technical climbing gear.

You will spend the day learning practical, hands-on mountain movement methods. The specific skills we cover will be structured to suit your current hillwalking experience, ranging from understanding how to use your hands for balance on rocky paths, to executing three points of contact and choosing the best line up beginner-grade scrambles. Our expert tutor will focus on teaching you to assess hazards, manage the psychological challenges of exposure, and master the footwork and body positioning needed to descend steep, scree-covered, or wet ground safely.
