Day 2 of our Women's Introduction to outdoor climbing weekend. We went up to Square Buttress Area and put up some bottom ropes on various climbs. Today's focus was on gear placement and finding stable good positions to place gear from/ rest in.
There were several heavy showers so when it was raining or we were waiting for it to dry we looked at personal anchor building and discussed working towards independence outside. We coached some movement skills at the bottom of the crag but it was mostly gaining confidence and experience today.
Area :
Peak District Grit: Stanage Edge
Simply the finest crag on grit with well over 1000 routes of all grades and styles. The most popular of climbing areas in the UK with a huge number of classic routes. We have split the area into the same divisions as used for UKC logbooks, namely Stanage Popular, Stanage Plantation and Stanage North. Bouldering activities should be entered into the 'Outdoor Bouldering' section of DLOG. Routes on other gritstone crags, such as Burbage North, should be added to the relevant Area as noted in the Area titles.
