Scrambling enters the deeper part of the Gorge with access to areas of stunning beauty flowing rivers, rapids, bigger jumps, plunge pools and waterfalls.
Gorge Scrambling is a more committed event requiring greater stamina and durability for the resiliant thrill seeking adventurer, both activities take part on a morning or afternoon session .
Depending on your needs or the groups requirements for the event Gorge Walking and Gorge Scrambling should suit all abilities, however if you are looking for bigger jumps, high commitment and an even greater physical and mental challenge take a look at the Canyoning and the Ultimate Mountain Challenge.
