Scrambling has grown ever so popular in recent years with more experienced mountain hikers in [[Tatras]], the highest mountain range within the 1500&nbsp;km-long chain of [[Carpathians]], located on the border between [[Poland]] and [[Slovakia]]. A hiker who has scaled all possible marked tourist trails will in time typically start looking for more ambitious goals, namely those peaks that by law are only accessible via hiring a licensed mountain guide (for a fee). More adventurous individuals, however, or those on a tight budget (often college/university students) endeavour to climb those harder accessible summits without assistance, especially since very accurate descriptions of (typically "normal", i.e. the easiest) routes are readily available on the Internet. Apart from dedicated websites, guidebooks for rock climbers by {{ill|Witold Henryk Paryski|pl}} or {{ill|Władysław Cywiński|pl}} (Poland) and {{ill|Arno Puškáš|sk}} (Slovakia) are particularly popular. There is an informal peak bagging challenge called {{ill|Wielka Korona Tatr|pl}} / Velka Korona Tatier (or Great Crown of Tatras), involving climbing Tatras' all fourteen 8-thousanders (in feet), only 3 of which are accessible by marked hiking trails. Typically, they are graded at most I or II in Tatra climbing difficulty scale (equivalent to British Grade 3/3s).
