Full day | Ambleside meeting point | High mountain terrain | approx. 1000m ascent
A challenging mountain day designed for women who already have hill walking experience and are ready to take on bigger terrain, longer days and more committing routes.
We meet for a short pre-hike briefing where we'll discuss the weather, conditions and route plan for the day. From there, we'll head into the mountains for a full day of adventure in high and often complex terrain. Depending on conditions, the day may involve multiple summits, exposed routes, steep ground, sustained ascents or sections where careful movement is required.
These are the days that leave you tired, exhilarated and deeply satisfied. The terrain is bigger, the challenge is greater and the rewards are often unforgettable.
In one day you will:
• Build confidence in bigger and more committing mountain terrain
• Develop your movement skills on steep, rough and varied ground
• Gain experience thinking about decisions in mountain environments
• Learn how to manage energy, pace and mindset over a full mountain day
• Experience some of the most spectacular mountain environments the Lake District has to offer
You'll leave with greater confidence in your abilities, a deeper understanding of the mountains and a genuine sense of achievement.
