Scrambling
Scrambling is intrinsically one of the most dangerous forms of mountaineering. It links walking with rock climbing at its lowest level but is generally done without fixed belay systems (as in rock climbing). Moving together, alpine style, is quite a common scenario; two or more people moving, roped together, but only placing the rope over spikes of rock for protection as they progress.
 Grade I. A scramble that gives some exposure but doesn’t usually necessitate the use of rope-work; These scrambles can usually be reversed and are easily within the realms of most ardent walkers.
Grade II. More exposure and more technical, rope-work may be beneficial unless you’re very confident; Only a few scrambles at this grade can be reversed.
Grade III. Very exposed with steep pitches that will probably require roping; Forget about reversing one unless you want to leave some kit behind! This is virtually rock climbing!
 Climbing
In 2007 the club has done a lot less climbing then we would have liked.
We had a training trip with an instructor but did not get much other climbing in. With luck we will have a better summer in 2008 and get out for some evenings at Markfeild Quarry.
