Learn to Lead climbing course

Its been a great three days teaching lead climbing. Over the three days we had to dodge the rain and the strong winds, but we covered lots and climbed as much as we could. It was great to see someone progress so much on the course.

Being on the sharp end with help and advice next to you.

Intro to climbing

The last two days teaching an intro to climbing course. The weather has been so hot these last  few days suntan cream and lots of water were a must.

Had a great few days teaching on a refresher learn to lead course, we were lucky with the weather and had two days at Stanage then the last day at Burbage. We went over all aspects of lead climbing and more importantly they gained confident in there ability in placing protection and rope work.

Had a great few days with Dave and Jon on the intro to climbing. The day started at Yarncliffe it was very windy, so safety was paramount at the top. The sun did come out in the afternoon and were able to do lots of climbing and setting up systems.

Dave on Aphids Wall great climbing for the first day.

Jon smashing out Aphids Wall as well.

Day Two was just as windy so we headed to Rivelin.
