Scrambling on Kinder Scout..

Andrew joined me for a day of scrambling on Kinder Scout today. Often when compared to Snowdonia or the Lake District, 'The Peak' is thought of as being a bit of a scrambling back water.

For us today this wasn't the case, with the ascent of a few good scrambles on the southern edges of Kinder. Initially we headed up Grindsbrook Booth to the "halfway rocks" before striking a line up towards Upper Tor. This gave us a good opportunity to practice some basic ropework before reaching the plateau.

From here we made an ascent of "Hidden Clough" before also taking in the waterfall section of Crowden Clough..
