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!

A couple of days of winter walking in Snowdonia with Max and Andrew. Max was in creditably fit and coped with the winter conditions well as it dropped to -10 with wind chill on Snowdon. Simply a great few days out in poor visibility but atmospheric conditions. Joe

A Great few days with Edwin in Snowdonia. Navigating in the mountains using Timings and contour interpretation and the compass. Edwin wanted to be self sufficient in the mountains. Being able to calculate the time taken on walks at the start of the day. Which he was successfully doing by the end of the navigation course. 1:1 navigation courses you learn so much more with your valuable time totally tailored to you needs. Well done Edwin. Never seen anybody learn so fast as you! Cheers Joe
