Brown - Stac Pollaidh the 1st scrambling

Scrambling is a method of ascending rocky faces and ridges. The term is somewhere between hillwalking and rock climbing. It means that hands must be used in the ascent. A very nice scramble I can suggest is Stac Pollaidh, a mountain in the Northwest Highlands of Scotland. It can be climbed in less than 3 hours by any relatively fit person and once on the ridge the summit is located about 300 m to the west. To reach the it one must scramble over several rocky pinnacles and a good portion of skills is needed!
