Quality video 👍 very informative!

Excellent video. Brilliant structure! The book alone doesn’t quite describe the levels. Was going to try wildboar clough first but I’ll definitely go for a grade one now.

did it saturday by myself 6am, bit scary but easy,

Ima 2 foot a player on sunday thanks for your permission Mr Beresford!

Good video , new sub here 👍🏕

Great vid. Surprised Kinder Downfall itself isn't in there. Get it on a dry day and it's great fun.

you should downhill mountain bike sir 😂

Thanks - some great routes

Brilliant video! I'd add Grindsbrook Clough to this list. It was my first scramble as an 18 year old keen hiker and is brilliant fun. Easy technical difficulty (grade 1 at the most) but just the right length and views backwards are stunning, as is the beautiful waterfall area you scramble up - would recommend even to experienced scramblers! I've done a couple of grade 2s now, and my next plan is Elbow Ridge as it looks incredibly fun. Also agree with your mindset about it being easy climbing without the technicalities of ropes. I'm a V5-V6 gym boulderer but not yet bothered to get into outdoor rope climning because it just seems like a bit of a "faff" to get into. Scrambling can be a great activity without the need for rope (in good conditions of course), and gives you the fun tactile feeling of bouldering, the excitement of exposure, without the need to faff about with gear.

Sadly 2 climbers died in an avalanche in wilderness gully Jan 1963. This together with another tragedy on Bleaklow in 1964 was instrumental in the Peak District Mountain Rescue becoming better organised.

Having done a bit in the peaks, it just doesn’t offer the same experience as climbing in Snowdonia. The difficulty in the peak climbs comes from wet, greasy, slippery, rock… not from massive exposure.. no sustained scrambling linking grade3 together.. head to the Ogwen valley and tackle the cneifion and link to dolmen ridge, then head back down the gribin ridge or devils kitchen to tackle Idwal buttress… and any number of routes up Tryfan.. don’t get me wrong, the peaks has its place for walking/fell running, but for a day of scrambling get in your car and drive a couple of hours.. good informative video though my friend… 👍🏻🕊️

I would recommend having a crack at square chimney opposite arpeggio if you haven't yet. Theres a couple of nice pitches.

Not all hammocks are created equal. Look at Hennessy Hammocks if you want to see the potential. BTW, all you need to rig one is hanging on the wall behind you

Do you know what is really over rated and over priced? Patagonia t-shirts.

I do get the Nalgene for winter camping but the lifestraw is like the worst filter on the market in my mind. I much prefer the platypus QuickDraw screwed onto a 750 ml pet bottle. The bottle goes into the recycling after each tour and fits much better into side pockets and is much lighter as well. Also you can keep the filter on your person in the cold to prevent it from freezing because it has caps on each end. Good video though :)

There is no disappointment

you and your vaseline and cotton pads 🤣🤣

Great video and well put together. Incudes some new takes on familiar locations for me to explore, nice one 🙌

Im about to go snowdonia for my first time, ive only ever had the south downs to backpack on and not 1 of my friends is intrested in doing it.... i hoping i might meet people to tag along with on easy scrambles as i suffer from a major fear of heights thanks to scaffolding without a harness 😅😅😅 but you know what they face your fears don't run from them!!

Don't mind the odd scramble but hats off to climbers. Just subscribed. Best wishes on your adventures in 2024.

I'm as guilty as anyone for having used it in years past, but isn't the car park with its marked-out bays and tarmacked surface an ugly eyesore on an otherwise beautiful landscape.

yo, excellent . see ya. :))

Try kinder downfall loads of fun in the dark

You’re a teacher in my school

Great video Archie, I too have been steadily making my way through that Cicerone Dark Peak Scrambles... Have you been to Alderman's rocks next to Dovestone? There is some amazing variety there, but hard route finding, it's easy to stray on to a diff/ v/diff trad route

Mr berishford can fly

Love the content from your student

your my mates science teacher 😮‍💨

MR BERESFORD your my science teacher

Grade 3? You ever been to Wales or Scotland?!

Did Wildboarclough for the first time last week. Really enjoyed the experience.

The peak, not the peaks!!!

Nice.

Excellent footage of these splendid landscapes!

I great video highlighting some of the Peak Districts gems. The only thing I'd add is where you mentioned checking the weather on the day, I'd also check the weather for a few days leading up as well to give you an idea of the ground conditions.

Brilliant video 👏👍 I didn't think there was much scrambling in the Peaks but these look fantastic - can't wait to give some of them a go. Thanks for the great video and detailed info!

✌️ Promo>SM

Yes sir climbing rocks 😊

Yes sir 😂😂

Great starter advice mate.

great guide thanks

Great video mate. Ive recently put up some scrambling videos including aonach eagach and collies ledge in skye. I think the grade can be a bit biased towards verticality and in particular when I climbed Pinnacle Ridge in the lakes I found it pretty easy and would say I preffered it over Jacks rake - the tree section I was terrified. But maybe its about getting over your fear of heights.

Wilderness Gully is great fun in the winter when its iced up.

I've done plenty of scrambles in the Peaks, lakes and Wales, but i would actually love to learn to use rope. I'm in Manchester, if you would be ever willing to guide me with a rope. check out Napes needle , Great Gable, some epic scrmbling on alot of the routes

Also Matterhorn ridge next to elbow ridge and some other bits on the other side of the valley too. Also some other ridges in Cavedale too round the corner.

Interesting video, was it you wearing the Simond B2s? If so what do you think of them?

What map would you recommend for beginners that's to read?

Nice video, Archie. I've had some of my best days out on Peak grit scrambles.

Ledge route is on my list. Done all the usual scrambles like Crib Goch, Aonach Eagach, CMD Arête, Liathach Ridge etc. what are the main difficulties with this one? Cheers
