With its impressive steep, craggy mountains, Glencoe is one of the best places for scrambling in Scotland. It is home to bucket-list routes like the Aonach Eagach Ridge (grade 2) and Curved Ridge (grade 3). However, there is also plenty of easier scrambling in the glen and several superbly positioned grade 1 routes ideal for beginners to get to grips with! This developer course is suitable for hillwalkers and sky/mountain runners* who are looking to try scrambling for the first time or improve their confidence over graded terrain. Day 1 will focus on essential movement skills (scrambling up and down-climbing technique). This will be on grade 0-1 terrain without the use of a harness or rope. We will also cover how to planning your route and choose the appropriate scramble (including scrambling grades and what they mean). Day 2 will involve some tricker graded 1-2 scrambling (depending on the weather and group). We will cover route-finding, managing exposure and making sound judgements around weather and safety. On this day you may be required to wear a harness (at the discretion of your instructor). On both days you will be required to wear a helmet. Over the weekend, you will be instructed by Girls on Hills guide/s with the necessary Mountaineering and Climbing Instructor qualification (MCI) required to properly manage your safety on scrambling terrain in the mountains. The ratio will be no more than 1 to 6 (or 1 to 3 roped), with plenty of experience on-hand to help you where you need it. Selected routes will be in the Glencoe/Lochaber area. Participants should have a good level of hill fitness and a 'head for heights’ (i.e. not suffer from vertigo). If you’re not sure then please just drop us an email and ask! Girls on Hills is a 'no-frills' experience - we don't include food or accommodation, allowing you the flexibility to choose your own to suit travel logistics or budget. There is plenty of budget accommodation locally, including hostels/bunkhouses/pods. We can offer a shuttle service to/from local accommodation, and are committed to making your logistics work. We will email you the week before the event. This email will confirm meet location, as well as information on what to wear and bring with you. We will meet up to check kit and discuss final plans for the day over coffee before we start! We pride ourselves on being 'approachable and relatable' so please do get in touch with any concerns or queries you might have now or nearer to the event. We look forward to having some fun and showing you some fantastic scrambling in a breathtaking setting. * There will be no running on this event (walking only) although course content is applicable to both walkers and runners. Please note that you will be required to read and sign a disclaimer ahead of the weekend. You may also be required to use a rope/harness/helmet. Girls on Hills’ insurance does not protect you as an individual. We advise that you treat this course as you would any travel/extreme sports activity, and take out your own insurance. www.girlsonhills.com/terms-and-conditions
