Scrambles
Definition | Scrambling lies somewhere between hiking and
technical climbing/mountaineering, but a rope is not usually required for
experienced parties if conditions are dry. Scramble routes range from
steep, off-trail hiking to other ascents that are more difficult and require
frequent use of hand and foot holds while ascending rock steps or traversing
narrow ridges. The scrambling objective is usually a mountain top.
The book featured to the right is called Scrambles in the Canadian Rockies and it is written by Alan Kane. It includes: driving directions, route information and pictures for 156 different mountains, all in the Canadian Rockies! If you are going to try your first scramble, go with someone who has done a few before, chances are they will already have this book.
To the left you can see all of the scrambles I have done. Some of the earlier ones do not have any pictures, but most of the later ones do. I do most of my scrambles with Daniel McKellar. I think he deserves an honorable mention on my website mainly because he drives me to all of these remote destinations without complaint!
