Session with YP. Student fully engaged and wanting to learn toabseil by himself. Difficult on our wall but problem solved and set up a group abseil using two ropes on top of the box. From here dropped a line to him, he climbed up and coaxed him into standing next to me. From here, instructed on using figure 8s nd how to hold it. Www= problem solving, keeping all safe, using coaching to help him through fear, learned quickly, quick set up with Italian hitches. Problem with going up is can leave students unsupervised at the bottom first, this was quickly rectified by tasking student to uncoil rope
