Assisting an MIA teach indoor lead climbing, including with trad gear.
The group was experienced at top roping and setting up top rope anchors outdoors. We'd spent several days working with them indoors and out already.
I did a demo climb while he explained to the group what I was doing - finding a stable position, pulling up rope, clipping. Then they had a go leading while we belayed them.
Next we took half of them each and got them placing trad gear at ground level (the wall had areas with reinforced slots for this). Then I did demo of a trad lead which the MIA narrated. Then they did it while we belayed them.
