Join us for Classic Cairngorm Scrambles.
Based in the heart of the Cairngorms, this course is ideal for hillwalkers eager to explore steeper, exposed terrain. With easy access to quality scrambles like Fiacaill Ridge, Afterthought Arete, Pygmy Ridge, and Lurcher’s Crag, you’ll enjoy quiet trails, clean granite, and the wild solitude of the plateau.
Whether you’re trying exposed scrambling for the first time or aiming to go it alone, we’ll guide you through classic routes to develop movement, route-finding, and basic rope skills. Our practical, hands-on approach builds confidence and judgement, helping you move safely and independently in technical terrain.
