Grades

We've graded all our activities to help you choose the best adventure. Our activities range from moderate to very difficult, with varying distances and steepness. We also offer Grade 1 scrambles for those looking for a more adventures experience.

 

If have any questions about the grades or your ability please get in touch for a chat.

Grade 1 Scramble

All scrambling grades require a degree of rock climbing as both hands and feet are employed, but a classic Grade 1 scramble is essentially an exposed walking route.

​

Most tend to be relatively straightforward with many difficulties avoidable, and some of the most popular days out in the British mountains are ‘easy’ Grade 1 scrambles.

​

Despite some knee-trembling sections, the likes of Striding Edge on Helvellyn, Snowdon’s Crib Goch or Jack’s Rake on Pavey Ark can typically be attempted without ropes and protection.
