An amazing scrambling adventure in the Cairngorms
Peak-Outdoor的点评
点评：What an amazing two days doing some interesting scrambling with a little bit of moderate rock climbing (just to spice things up a bit) with Simon at the Cairngorm national park earlier this month.
The reason I wanted to do the scrambling course in the first place was to learn how to do a higher grade scrambling (2nd or 3rd) so that I can feel safer when I'm on the hills, especially if more complex ascent/descent is involved.
I also wanted to gain some confidence on higher terrain and see how I feel with greater exposure in general so that I can potentially do some more difficult scrambles like the Aonach Eagach ridge & some of the Torridon Munros,.. maybe even Cuillin ridge one day ...
In all honesty I didn't' know exactly how I'll do during the course but Simon somehow made me feel at ease from the very beginning, patiently explaining smearing technique (since I was quite hesitant when it comes to trusting my grip), protection gear - with the bonus of showing me some pretty cool stuff from rock climbing as well... We did grade 1, 2, 3 and even more .. all in one day - completely exceeding my expectations;)) it was so interesting to see how he was placing pitches, building anchors & also learning how to belay and when it's safe to climb - of course with the proper lingo (full disclosure - I did not do well on that part however I am confident I will pass with flying colours next time).
I've had an amazing experience both days having the opportunity to climb Ptarmigan & Fiacaill Ridge (through the twin ribs) plus the Afterthought arête with Simon, who was constantly encouraging me and helping me to safely push my limits.
I honestly had more fun than anticipated and am looking forward to do some more scrambling/climbing with him in the future - hopefully this year;))
Highly recommend 😊
Very grateful for everything you taught me Simon - thank you;)

翻译：本月初，我和Simon在凯恩戈姆国家公园度过了两天，体验了一些有趣的攀岩，还加了一点中等难度的攀岩（只是为了增加点趣味）。这真是太棒了。
我最初想参加攀岩课程的原因是想学习如何进行更高难度的攀岩（二级或三级），这样我在山上时就能更有安全感，尤其是在涉及更复杂的上坡/下坡时。
我也想在更高的地形上积累一些信心，看看自己在更广泛的接触环境中感觉如何，这样我就可以尝试一些更困难的攀岩，比如 Aonach Eagach 山脊和一些 Torridon Munros 山峰，甚至有一天可以尝试 Cuillin 山脊……
说实话，我并不知道自己在课程中的表现会如何，但 Simon 从一开始就让我感到很安心，他耐心地解释了涂抹技术（因为我在信任自己的抓握力方面相当犹豫）和保护装备——还额外向我展示了一些很酷的攀岩技巧……我们完成了 1、2、3 级甚至更高的难度……都在一天内完成——完全超出了我的预期;)) 看到他如何布置绳距、搭建锚点，以及如何进行保护以及何时可以安全攀爬，真是太有趣了——当然，他还使用了正确的术语（坦白说——我在这方面做得并不好，但我相信下次我会顺利通过）。
这两天我和Simon一起攀登了Ptarmigan和Fiacaill山脊（穿过双肋），以及Afterthought山脊，这段经历真是太棒了。Simon一直鼓励我，帮助我安全地挑战自己的极限。
说实话，我玩得比预想的还要开心，期待着未来能和他一起进行更多的攀爬——希望是今年;))
强烈推荐😊
非常感谢你教给我的一切，Simon——谢谢你;)
