A day guiding a teaching Kati Sin about scrambling.
Objectives: Kati really struggles with exposure and movemnet on rock so I wanted to give her a day where we could stretch her comfort zone slightly in a really fun enviroment.
I did a link up of 3 routes:
Northwest Face Route, Idwal Triple and Cneifion Arete.
We looked at tying into belays safely, removing gear, movement on rock. I didnt want to overwelm her in talking about belays, but i did give her lots of teachng points very subtle though, just for her to feel good about where she was and enjoy the experience. I purposely finished on Cneifion as that would give a little bit more exposure but before then we would have worked alot on movement. So by the time we did get there is reacted very well to the exposure. I led some of the pitches veering close th the edge and then pulling away from the steepness, this was really effective for her. She really enjoyed the whole experience.
