Scrambling can feel like a big step up from mountain walking and needs to be thought of as easy rock climbing rather than hard walking. The easiest scrambles may require the use of hands for small sections and a good head for heights but harder scrambles will require rock climbing rope techniques and confidence of moving over steep and rocky ground. Scrambling can give you access to some amazingly exposed and exciting positions and gives you that feeling of a proper mountaineering day out. .
