Lovely rest of the day at Llangorse with Matt & kim.
after the abseiling we then went down into the pit for some TR'ing.
Matt has climbed outdoor before but with no specific instruction.
Kim has never climbed on anything apart from artificial walls.
Having climbed here myself I felt that I could do some coaching with them both, so mainly stayed on the ground helping them with route choice and climbing technique. I introduced them to fist jams and route appreciation prior to them climbing, and in every climb they did, they each managed to learn a new skill or at least try some new techniques which was really good for their climbing and my coaching.
We finished with some bouldering where there was less coaching but more advice giving on sections to try. I pushed Matt in his climbing today well I think and he really enjoyed it.
I praised Kim lots today as I felt she needs a little more confidence in her ability, and to actually understand what she had achieved here.
