Climbing at the Boardroom
3 sessions over 3 dates: 18 Nov 2022, 25 Nov 2022, 02 Dec 2022.
9 cadet on each session. The Cadets learned to Group Belay and were able to do multiple routes at the wall on top-rope.
During this session the OC how to taught the cadets about tying the correct knots and how to belay, this was important as it helped with the delivery of the session. I would observe and add additional safety information where needed and the Cadets would be able to tie their own knots and belay under supervision.
The Cadets were able to take part in climbing games, time was an important factor as last week it was quite a rush to do belay skills, warm up and climbing so we kept the warmup brief.
The Cadets were able to climb a few routes each on top rope, I would always have to see the knots and belaying prior to them leaving the ground.
This was a successful event with no incidents occurring.
Time: Cadets will arrive for a 1845 start at the boardroom, Cadets will depart at 21:45.
Session is being led by CI Saul Darlington (CWI/RCI).
