Scramble, Scramble, Scramble :-)
Fancy something that's harder than walking, but not quite climbing? That'll be scrambling then - and here's a load of info to help you get started :-)

Where does walking stop and scrambling start? For most of us it's
that point where you have to start using your hands regularly to
progress safely up the hill.
Where does climbing start? That's a more difficult one - the
harder grades of scrambling aren't so very different from easy climbs
and what you feel is an acceptable risk varies from person to person
depending on nerve, ability and experience. Don't think that because
something's a scramble, you don't need a rope...
More exhilarating than walking, less of a faff than pitched
climbing, scrambling's great and it's something we've covered a lot
in the past on OM, so to help you get started, here's a bucketload of
links to past OM scramble routes, articles and gear tests, just
scroll on down....
Remember, we publish a new scramble route ever other week.
