Gorge Scrambling

Gorge Scrambling Half Day

Gorge Scrambling at the Truim Falls The Truim Falls is located near Newtonmore and Dalwhinnie just twenty minute from Aviemore suited in the Cairngorms National Park. In fact, this is one of Scotland’s classic Gorge Scrambling venues for adrenaline s

A typical Itinerary would be to meet your instructor at the venue for the morning or afternoon session at either 10:00 or 13:00 depending. You will then kit up and spend the next couple of hours in the stunning gorge; scrambling, jumping, sliding and travelling down flumes before culminating in the biggest jump (20 ft).

Firstly, you will most certainly get wet. As a matter of fact, our venue has jumps ranging from just a few feet for the wee kids all the way to jumps 20ft for the incredibly brave! In short, one of the most amazing adventures of your life is to gorge scramble in Scotland! Guided by our expert instructors, you will have a thrilling adventure.

The venue we use for our gorge scrambling sessions has been carved & eroded from the Scottish rock over millions of years and is just a short drive from Aviemore. Ultimately, the erosion has formed natural slides & chutes, jumps up to 20ft, abseils and natural rock features to negotiate – This is a challenging experience providing a truly adventurous day out in Scotland.

We pride ourselves on providing as much kit as possible for you.  However, the list below is what we recommend you should bring to your Gorge Scrambling Adventure:

  • Something to go underneath a wetsuit – swimwear or a spare pair of underwear. (We do provide swimshorts to wear over the top of the wetsuit for greater style and modesty.)
  • Travel insurance. (We are insured for all our trips, but we recommend everyone has their own travel insurance as well.)
  • Transportation to the venue. (We may be able to help with this though – if you need transportation please drop us an enquiry and we can see what we can do to help.)
  • Lunch, water.
  • Personal medication
  • Sun cream, midge net

Here at Highland Outdoor Adventures, we pride ourselves on providing as much as we can but you are welcome to bring your own equipment if you do prefer. The list below is what we provide you with on the day of your Gorge Scrambling Adventure.

  • Buoyancy aids.
  • Wetsuits
  • Helmets.
  • Neoprene wetsuit boots.
  • Swimshorts to go over the top of wetsuits.
  • All instruction.
  • All first aid and safety equipment.
  • Photographs of the day provided for you at no extra cost! If the weather is good we will have a DSLR professional camera and maybe even a drone, so we can take photos and videos of your adventure and you can look back at the day for years to come. If the weather is less favourable we will bring a GoPro (as it is waterproof) so we will still be able to take photos for you.
  • Fully certified instructors.
  • Changing robes or a pop up tent for those who wish or need more privacy getting into a wetsuit.
