Description

A training session prior to outdoor climbing with Nick and Vince. Nick and Vince are both experienced indoor climbers, mainly focused on bouldering. Vince had attended a prior outdoor session and wanted to gain some further experience and wanted to make sure Nick was able to belay and climb effectively. This was a relatively straightforward teaching session as it composed of teaching belaying and then working on movements and considerations for climbing vs. bouldering and basic techniques for outdoor climbing. The session was a positive one with both Nick and Vince engaging well in the session and responding well to instruction and feedback. Where things were less useful was trying to prepare for outdoor climbing on an indoor wall - teaching smearing out of context isn't great. You can teach smearing indoors but the employment on vertical wall vs. an outdoor gritstone slope is quite different.

Area : The Priory School
