Scrambling is the best! You have to understand the grading system first before getting started. But when you work your way up the ladder it can be very rewarding!

At this moment is when I learned I won’t be going past Class 1 😅

@user-ez4iv2kp4f Год назад

As a climber I would say, thats dangerous stuff. Any mistake can lead to death. Thats litterally free solo, but with easy climb. Would not advise to do for anyone who is not fit enough, who is not experienced in real climbing, and 100% sure he can make it

@thomasmackey6760 Год назад

So more like a 5.0 to 5.7 but all X, Like a 5.5X on Yosemite Decmile System

Nice video. That last scramble looked great.

Thanks, just put a new video out on the last scramble, Cneifion arete

One person's scramble is another's rope protected climb , conversely another person's sever rope climb is just an easy scramble . Third classing a 5.8 is common for many climbers .

Exactly that mate

One of my mates is a climber who has climbed up to E8. He refuses to come scrambling with me (I only do G1 & G2 never used ropes), reckoning that its stupidly dangerous. I wont go anywhere near climbing with him, reckoning that I dont have the nerve for it. I recently lost my nerve at the foot of Bell Rib on Yewbarrow, which is a G3 looked pretty terminal if a mistake was made. I consoled myself with the G1 scramble in the gully below up to Great Door. It did make me wonder if I have the stones for risk taking on the mountains any more.

@clogsonthemountain 8 месяцев назад

Most grade 1 and 2 are OK without a rope as long as the experience is there imo. I've soloed a few grade 3 and that's another level. I rope up for most of them tbf. Always thought rock climbing wasn't going to be for me however as my confidence grew I wanted more 😂 Being on a rope makes you feel a lot safer tbf but also depends who's belaying you. Tomorrow morning we start a rock climbing series on the channel, highly recommend tuning in

@nickrails 8 месяцев назад

@clogsonthemountain I might try and get on some guided roped scrambles - as you say the confidence that you're not going die if you make a mistake or slip sounds quite appealing! Be interested to see your new series, good luck with it.

@OutandaboutwithSpencer Год назад

Wow, cracking video..the guy on Crib Goch looked cool! 😂 Well done on the grade 3, too exposed for me. 👍

@clogsonthemountain Год назад

Thanks, you play a part in achieving this as well mate 👍

@frankblangeard8865 Год назад

People have free soloed the north face of the Eiger. So I guess that would be a class 3 scramble for those people.

@charlesmartin1121 2 месяца назад

From what I have seen here and elsewhere, is the precise distinctions between scrambling (class 4) and low grade climbing (class 5.0 to 5.4)------>are totally scrambled and indistinct. Like in the definition of a species there should be one archetypal section of rock for each grade, that is widely agreed upon. Better still some organization or group of organizations should create a series of 50 meter long artificial climbing surfaces (i.e. resembling real rock) that precisely define what each grade looks like.

@clogsonthemountain 2 месяца назад

I agree, the many varieties on grades can make it quite blurred imo. A good understanding in all of them can be very helpful when climbing and or scrambling abroad.

@user-ec7oe1bl8y 11 месяцев назад

just done this in the rain and at 40mph winds inside the white rain clouds, all I can say is f*** me it was a beast of a challenge to stay alive, that's how it felt for 4 hours pretty much non stop, it was only my 4th scramble so that escalated pretty fast for me

@clogsonthemountain 11 месяцев назад

Sometimes you're out in bad weather and yes it can be very intimidating. Always happy to get off the mountain in one piece in those conditions.

@TheOldGreggggg 3 месяца назад

That G2 looks shit scary

@clogsonthemountain 3 месяца назад

It's an exposed route for sure, not as bad as other grade 2's I've done though 😅

@yungthunder2681 6 месяцев назад

If you're using ropes, you're not scrambling, you're climbing

@annabellemitchell192 4 месяца назад

Yes… and if you have a rope it becomes easier than a class 1… because at least you’re protected somewhat

Grade 1 fun, the others are not for me.

@clogsonthemountain Год назад

That's what I thought at first. Some of them are hair raising but very rewarding. However best to stay in your comfort level for sure 👍

@RonaiHenrik 11 месяцев назад

So what would a UIAA grade IV be? Grade 2 scramble? Also, do I hear a hint of a Dutch accent?

@clogsonthemountain 11 месяцев назад

More like grade 3 HVD or S Yes, originally Dutch but been living abroad since 2006

@RonaiHenrik 11 месяцев назад

@@clogsonthemountain 3 HVD? What is that, I don't recognize the abbreviation. Dank je! :)

@clogsonthemountain 11 месяцев назад

@@RonaiHenrik Hard very difficult or S for severe

@RonaiHenrik 11 месяцев назад

@@clogsonthemountain ah the British scale I guess. I'm asking because I'm planning to climb Grauspitz and there are supposedly parts of UIAA IV- Or some say III. Some even think it's more III-. So I'm trying to get a feel for it. I can climb D/E via ferratas and 6b sport routes, 6c boulders, so the mental part is more scary than the physical aspect.

@clogsonthemountain 11 месяцев назад

@RonaiHenrik sounds to me you've got great experience, not familiar with the mountain itself though so can't advice you on that I'm afraid. UIAA grade IV is equivalent to a 3C so taking out the exposure side of things you should be more than capable

@salsageordie Год назад

Matterhoen grade ?

@clogsonthemountain Год назад

5.7 grade for the matterhorn with previous alpine and ice climbing experience required if that's what you meant?

@salsageordie Год назад

5.7 grade can you define that ?

@dmbeaster Месяц назад

Ugh. Shitty rock. I am spoiled by Sierra granite. That Grade 3 is not that nasty. Exposure, but secure moves. More like a high end class 3 in the Sierras. Class 4 is nastier.
