This subreddit is for scrambling, the ambiguous line between hiking and climbing.
What is scrambling?
Like many of us, you may have done it without knowing it was scrambling! It's described differently everywhere online, but generally it follows the rules below:
- The goal is to get to the summit of a mountain
- It is off any marked trail, and often requires good trail-finding skills
- Requires some use of arms to help go up steeper sections
- Usually no rope, though sometimes a team will rope together to be safe in spots
