Description

Working with Pam on her trad climbing. After 2 days working together was happy to let her lead. Had assessed her belay building and gear placement abilities over past few days.
Also used this as an opportunity to consolidate the hoist techniques that we had worked on at GCC the previous day. I secured myself on second to piece of gear and allowed her to work on an assisted hoist in a real context.

Area : Lowland Outcrops: The Glasgow Outcrops

The Glasgow outcrops include some very well known venues, including Dumbarton Rock with its excellent bouldering and a range of trad routes that include some of the hardest ever done, anywhere. The sport routes here and the nearby Dumbuck should be entered in the sport climbing section of DLOG. Dolerite is the predominant rock type, the best venue being the popular and extremely user-friendly Auchinstarry Quarry, but there are natural outcroppings too in The Campsie Hills, especially at The Whangie. Ben An is described in the corresponding section of the SMC Lowland Outcrops guidebook, but in DLOG it has been placed in Highland Outcrops: Argyll and The Trossachs because geologically it is in the Highlands, and geographically it is in the Trossachs.
