Taster session for a group of 5 paramedics with varying degrees of experience from some indoor climbing experience to none.
Warm-up in the gym.
Easy climbing on the boulders - climbing V0-V1/2. Introducing them to same basic climbing principles like using their toes rather than side of feet and weight transfer (nose over toes)
Main session - roped climbing on auto belays and top-ropes - continuing weight transfer theme with me giving some demos at the bottom of the wall showing the group how to move their weight over their feet (knees, naval, nose). We also did an exercise on the ground when they tried to stand on one leg without shifting their weight, this was a good way to emphasise how and why we do this on the wall
