Mountain Walk to Clachnaben together with another trainee mountain leader to practice rope work after work.
We also went through some flora and fauna along the way for practice. The rocks were not ideal to practice in comparison with the ones we use during training.
However we both took turns leading and being led to get familiar with the set-up and routine.
