List of Scrambles


Mt. Molare
Mt. Molare is the highest point on the Sorrento Peninsular just south of Naples, Italy.  If you visit Pompeii, and you are English or German speaking, there is a good chance you will stay in Sorrento.  A train takes you directly from Sorrento to Pompeii, Herculaneum and Naples. Hydrofoils connect to Capri and Ischia, islands guarding the Bay of Naples.  Mt. Molare is mostly a hike.  There is the slightest bit of scrambling near the top.  If you get off route, there is lots of serious scrambling.
Big Sister
Big Sister is the larger of the Three Sisters that overlook Canmore, Alberta. It's rated as a moderate scramble for enthusiastic scramblers, but for families it lies somewhere between difficult and impossible.  It is unrelentingly steep, and the difficulties appear half-way in the form of a downclimb that has fall distance down to a scree slope.  For those like me who don't trust Rockies rock, it requires a rope.
Fortress Mtn
Fortress Mtn is on the east side of the Smith Dorrien highway between Spray Lakes and Peter Lougheed Park.  It's a long hike, but its isolation and beauty make it worth the effort.
