Scrambling
Scrambling lies somewhere between hill walking and climbing, you’ll need to get your hands dirty in order to stay safe and make upward progression. However, other than a sure foot and a head for heights there is nothing to stop you taking part in a truly breath-taking and exhilarating experience. Scrambling can take you off the beaten track in no time at-all to the wildest of situations with some of the best views on offer in the mountains.
Navigation
Aspect Mountaineering is pleased to be able to offer you courses certified by the National Navigation Award Scheme. The overall aim of the courses are simple – to give lovers of the outdoors, whatever their sport, age or fitness, the freedom to explore the paths, trails, hills and mountains of Britain and abroad. Gaining an award does not give you a qualification to teach or lead. It is a recognition of the level of skill at which you can navigate.
Hill Walking
Hill walking in all its guises is to be enjoyed and cherished. Rugged Mountain tops with rocky, knife edge ridges, rolling hills with panoramic vistas, cliff top coastal paths with views across the ocean to gentle strolls through high mountain glens full of flowers and fauna. We love it all here at Aspect Mountaineering and are happy to offer wide and varied routes to be enjoyed by all. John Muir put it best when he said: “In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks.”
What our clients say
A huge thank you to Andy for taking us safely to the top of Ben Nevis and bringing us back down again during our Moonlight hike with Macmillan cancer support. What an amazing guy with a huge knowledge of his surroundings. Would highly recommend Andy to anyone who is looking for support or a guide around any of our beautiful mountains x
Had a fabulous trek up Ben Nevis with Andrew, we were a bunch of novices, but with help and guidance we made it!! A beautiful sunny day helped, Andrew had so much knowledge on all the views an awesome day – thank you.
Thanks again to Andy for all the help on the Yorkshire 3 Peaks challenge. He was professional, patient and good fun and really added to the day. I would definitely ask Andy to guide us on any future trips.
Andrew was a wonderful guide! Transported us to the start and motivated us to the top of Ben Nevis. He made this a truly great adventure! Highly recommend.
Andrew was an absolute gentleman! A great guide with lots of knowledge and a chipper attitude who kept motivating us to keep putting one foot in front of the other. He made us feel safe and gave me his coat at the top of Ben Nevis!!! Thank you for a great and challenging experience
Lovely to spend the day with Andy climbing Ben Nevis.Thanks for being a great guide with the right level of reassurance when needed. Glad you met Pudsey Bear too!

Hi, I sent you a DM about shadowing.
More from Bennybeg on the 24th February 2024, Lexi & Emily had been doing nothing but ask about getting back outside on the rock and with such a good weather forecast it was a day not to be missed.
Myself and the team were there early to rig, along with Lexi & Emily who got to test out the adventure scramble and the big abseil off the main wall for their warm up. They totally smashed it!
Lexi & Emily then moved to the smaller wall, to put some of their indoor skills into practice outdoors. Lexi now leads indoors and this was an opportunity for Lexi to try some simulated leads. Placing her own quickdraws and clipping in whilst having the safety of a bottom rope. Emily joined in as well. They both got to practice their belaying skills, bottom rope and lead.
A totally awesome session, a huge thank you to Colin for supervising this session, making it fun and engaging. Lexi & Emily really enjoyed it!

24th February 2024, a beautifully sunny spring like day at Bennybeg with this super fun group of Adventure Singles.
The session started with a mini scramble followed by a little boulder traverse to get warmed up. We moved onto the adventure scramble followed by the huge abseil off the main wall! Finishing the session with a chilled out rock climbing taster session.
It was good to see the entire group getting involved, making the most of the activities and most importantly, supporting each other. For most group members this was the first time they had tried anything like this and everyone smashed it!
Aspect Mountaineering would like to give a huge thank you to Sean, the abseil guy. Colin, Jen & Johnathan for helping to make this session the success it was! A huge thank you to the Adventure Singles for being such a fun group to work with!
If you would like to experience rock climbing & abseiling, drop us a message here on Facebook or WhatsApp 07969 847338 for further information.

Photos from Aspect Mountaineering's post ... See MoreSee Less
My last post with Lexi 12 & Emily 10 was all about the skills they have learned and put into practiced outside on crags last summer and into late winter.
But as always there comes a point when the weather becomes to much and things need to be moved indoors.
I have been coaching, both Lexi & Emily indoors now for three months and these two little mountaineers are really starting to develop their own style of climbing and working things out for themselves in a logical manner.
Lexi is now leading and Emily is now climbing the lines that Lexi has set up. Thanks to the photos Mum shares with me, I can now see how they are developing and the changes they are making to their climbing to make there climbing more efficient.
The focus of this session was to improve/tweak basic movement, positioning and clipping. See captions with photos for more info.
A huge well done to Lexi & Emily and thank you to mum for taking for the photos and allowing me to share them.
