Scrambling
This article is about climbing steep slopes. For other uses, see Scramble.
Scrambling is a method of ascending rocky faces and ridges. It is an ambiguous term that lies somewhere between hillwalking and rock climbing. It is often distinguished from hillwalking by defining a scramble as a route where hands must be used in the ascent. There is less to distinguish it from climbing, with many easy climbs sometimes referred to as difficult scrambles. Ropes may be necessary on harder scrambles, though sustained use of rope and belay probably counts as climbing. Alternatively, a distinction can be made in defining any ascent where hands are used to hold body weight, rather than just for balance, as a climb.
