Yea I was in the badlands in South Dakota once and I climbed up a precarious peak only to realize I couldn’t get down. In the end I had to make a leap of faith to a crumbly rock ledge but I made it so. Gotta be more careful.

The gravel there is loose and chunky over smooth stone making the slopes deceivingly dangerous. I almost continued doing something similar but made the call to turn back and the descent was wayy scarier and riskier.

Also it is important to know when to turn back. Off trail in the mountains its hard to gauge how steep things will get, and going up is easier and safer than trying to climb back down. Unless you are 100% sure you can continue on after a section of scrambling do NOT climb anything you would not be comfortable coming back down. False peaks can get you into a shitty situation!

100% I had to turn back today realizing that the gravel was wayy too slippery to continue and the descent was scary so I came to you tube looking for tips. Keeping my upper body close but not too close to the slope and putting knees down into the gravel helped a lot. Always keep in mind that the decent is riskier than the ascent.

I got into a pretty sticky situation not so long ago where I didn’t expect the amount and the challenge scrambling can bring. I got to a point where going down was no longer possible and going up seemed equally scary and dangerous. I started to panic which made the stones and any movement seem even more challenging and dreadful. It was a great learning experience, it definitely thought me to respect the mountains. The experience now also prevents me from getting to a similar situation as I am simply avoiding or returning back anytime there’s scrambling involved until I gain confidence and a good technique!

Something similar happened to me and my girlfriend! There's this "trail" that leads over 7 "teeth", which are rocks, and there's some scrambling bordering on rock climbing involved. Nothing extra, but neither of us had any experience of rock climbing or knew any techniques. We got in front of one of the rocks, couldn't immediately see the marked climbing path, and my girlfriend improvised it (she was really keen on climbing, and was having a lot of fun), while I did some more scouting from the bottom and found the marked path. When we met on the other side of the rock, she was all burnt out, and refused to climb the next rock (luckily, you could just hike around each one). We never really got into detail about what happened while she was climbing, but I could see it was sketchy and it made her super uncomfortable. I went to climb the next one alone, and it was a sort of a "chimney" situation where I got stuck in one place for 5+ minutes because I wasn't flexible enough, and my big boots were getting in the way. Luckily I managed to get up, and was pretty tired by the time I did. I'm not touching any of that again before I get some rock climbing classes and experience. Scary stuff. It was loads of fun before the sketchy situations though!

I panicked, I couldn't get my eyes to focus and iwas having double vision, even the little crumbling of rocks beneath me was giving me vertigo, luckily my partner stayed calm and helped me get over that section.

That going down the steep slope backwards thing is good advice. My father and I volunteer giving weekend tours in an old caboose, and there's a cupola up top. Meaning, a straight vertical climb into cush seats that look over the train. Keep an eye out for things. Every weekend we tell young and old alike to "go down backwards like a ladder" and we've thankfully never had anything more than a booboo in 25 years. Slowly going down backwards is often your safest bet. You might look like and anxious cat waddling back down a tree, but at least you're significantly less likely to fall.

Very nicely done. I would add that the no-hands drill is also great going up hill. Too many people crawl up slopes when they could just stand up and walk up. Many of the slopes in this video included. Not only is crawling inefficient, but you greatly reduce the friction between your feet and the ground because you are taking weight off your feet, and you are generating a greater sliding force (that is to say more of your force is along the rock rather than directly into the rock). In fact I use the no-hands drill with climbers on top rope both when teaching rock climbing and when teaching ice climbing - it really is great for teaching people to use their feet, to better understand and improve balance and body positioning.

@@truepeacenik Sure there are always outliers. But still too many able bodied people do this. Some of them are even my friends and hiking partners... And I have taught many of them life gets easier if you just stand up. Some get it. Some are afraid to try and that is fine - I do not push. I make a suggestion, if people like it fine. If they don't fine. This whole channel is about physical and mental training to move better in the mountains. Chase correctly pointed out that the no-hands drill is a great training tool. He mentioned in the context of downhill travel, I'm only pointing out it can be helpful uphill as well.

I recommend on steep slopes with loose gravel to get on all fours and put your knees down too if needed. Keep upper body close to lean into the slope but not so close your feet loose traction. Had a close call recently where I had to turn back realizing the gravel was too loose for me to continue ascending and then I realized the descent was wayy riskier and more difficult but I was able to slowly make it down and control my panicking.

Nice video. I also like to used a sideways descent. It’s half forward and half backwards. I find it offers better visibility and I can easily switch to backwards down climbing if I need to. I do find trail runners not so good for edging or forward slab descents. I like approach shoes or boots for more technical terrain. I often use trail runners to approach/exit and approach shoes or boots for the actual scrambling. But that’s generally for bigger scrambling objectives.

Excellent! I love scrambling and bouldering. Worth saying in winter it is more challenging and you may (will) need equipment and some instruction. But taking it carefully, big fun. Some areas have chains or static ropes to help. Also if one is camping, going up a thing that was fine with a day pack is...a little bit entertaining. Love it, love it.

Another tip not mentioned: when there is crumbling rock and / or vegetation that must be used then we think about "holding the mountain together". That means rather than yanking on rocks as if jugs, we climb as if holding or pressing into the mountain. This greatly improves the rock-fall situation and still improves our security and movement. Thnk about mantling - you are pressing into the mountain.

Scrambling is all about exposure & falling trauma. It's generally easier & more natural to climb up with more precision & control which can lead to situations where down climbing the same route is very difficult or impossible without some climbing equipment. The local SAR team can attest to this problem & have installed fixed chains on popular hikes which make a huge difference on both the up & down portions of the scramble.

I'm almost always desperate so! Love grabbing trees, even when don't need to. But most of my scrambling is steep forest slopes where don't have a choice. A useful technique I learned is sitting on your heels when edging down a little too steep slope of smooth rock. Slows you right and here (near Rio) quite a lot of these

When i find particularly difficult passages and i know i will have some difficulty descending i always do a mental map of grabs and food support so when i descend i exactly know what to do...and i also do descend the rock before continuing so i have it mine...other time i just put rock on the passage so i know is that one. Last suggestion...if the rock are to solve with adherence then a soft sole is better...you have better feelings and mobility..for vertical climb when you need to work with only part of the sole the is better a rigid one

Chase I respect and enjoy your channel. As a former trained mountain guide leader and wilderness first responder I want you to add onto your scrambling series. What you have is fine. However you are showing people Class 2 and class Three risk levels. Both of these levels can result in minor medium and serious injuries requiring medical treatment and can be life endangering especially without proper climbing shoes at least approach shoes evacuation. Most importantly they should never be attempted by the solo hiker and far from assistance and medical treatment. A minor sprained ankle can result in a stranded hiker incapable of getting back to safety and treatment. It takes three one to stay with one to get help. Also a safety beacon is an essential item. These levels of hiking need practice with skilled climbers they require some safety rope and frankly should be avoided by people who have not taken courses in responsible climbing skills. This is not a criticism of your work and your channel I just know thru many years of guiding people the risks the skills and the consequences. Although the probability of serious accidents may be small eventually they occur. The smallest injury can become deadly thst far away from help and without a skilled wilderness responder and a way to evacuate and or get immediate help.

These are the Vivo barefoot tempest. But not the greatest scrambling shoe. It's kind of a OCR type shoe

Vivo Barefoot. This model is decommissioned but you can get the primus which is similar. “Chase10” should get you 10% off I think

A lot of these are climbing techniques too! Very nice. One thing that took me by surprise while scrambling was carrying a crash pad. Those things can be huge and cumbersome.

Mind the weather, and never unnecessarily wet your soles in puddles or streams. Some situations can better be overcome in a dynamic than in a static fashion. Like in parkour running. But that takes a lot of experience.

Aonach Eagach…. Scotland… So many have died not using correct scrambling procedures and also exposure of sheer drops can literally be a killer for some. Really think about competence and weather conditions folks, before you commit.

I like to do mountaineering on steep snow/ice, but when it comes to scrambling on rocks, I feel so helpless without the help of my crampons and ice axe. Thanks for the video.

"Scrambling is more dangerous than regular climbing because you're not using a rope." Scrambling scares the heck out of me compared to actually anchoring in and being belayed. And in a rock gym, we often don't practice downclimbing. I feel like I want to be practicing scrambling in perfectly safe (or nearly so) settings before I attempt it on a ridgeline at X,000 meters with sheer dropoffs on either side. Experienced climbers still die. Is there a reason not to bring rock or approach shoes along for scrambles? I want the best tools for the job when my safety depends on it. It's not like they weigh much.

It hurts my toes physically to watch such exercises in trailrunners. Rocks fall, that's what they do, sometimes on your toes, and sometimes you just hit them yourself. And if rain hits (like every afternoon), i would drown in mud ankle deep. Also standing with toes on ledges and assisted climbing with ladders and ferratas is so much easier when you can hook feature with a heel of a boot. Guess trekking in spain is like that, just like climbing in a gym, without need to carry 1 kilo of food per day or protecting yourself from elements, gonna try it one day at Picos de Europe if covid ends.
