Day two of two day lead climbing improver course (mock clients). Given mixed forecast, opted to climb easy routes in series, and focus on stance management, multipitch climbing efficiencies and abseiling/retreat. Climbed Pulpit Route and Rowan Route with a mixture of in series and in parallel. Abseiled from abseil points below and above Ivy Chimney (progression - joining abseil ropes). Both managed as releasable abseils.
