Emma learning to lead on her own gear setting up belays and bring up a second

Emma spent 2 days learning how to place gear and manage herself on multi pitch trad rock climbs. She is already a very good climber on the wall but wants to move outside. We looked at placing gear, belay stance management and retreating and retrieving her rope from a rock climb. By the end of the couple of days it had all come together for her. Emma welcome to the trad world of Rock climbing!

Mountain navigation skills in Snowdonia


Are you able to look after yourself in poor visibility in the mountains? Starting the day when it sunny and suddenly it all changes. It happens so often. So look after yourself by skilling up! I am running a Mountain navigation and skills course on the weekend of the 14/15 of July 18. Contact me at joe@mountaineeringjoe.co.ukWalking across the Carneddau

A stunning time with Adri and Tony in Snowdonia on the Welsh 3000s in 24 hrs challenge. An endurance test in the mountains in complex ground and beautiful scenery. Adri and Tony are preparing for Kili wanted to test their endurance in the mountains. What a perfect day we had. Low winds, sunshine and of course fantastic views. Well done Adri for never giving up when her feet were sore. Thank you to both of you for a great time and of course Chris.
Cheers Joe
