Second session of the day, a large mixed family group for a bottom rope session.
A great learning experience for me. The children all started the climbs with excitement and got to around 2 meters before demanding to be let down. At first we used the usual encouragement and the parents joined in but the children got very upset and stroppy in turn and all except 2 never got higher than 2 m for the whole session. Some of the adults completed the climbs, as did 2 of the older teenagers, The younger children though continued their spoilt behavior for the whole session.
A hard 3 hours work but a good lesson in this being a climbing taster session, not a training session for new young climbers.
