Description

I ran this "intro" for a group of people some of which had been with me before. It was great to get a variety of grades and a variety of climbs done. Some people struggled on the opening slab with balance and technique, so lots of opportunity for coaching and thinking about body shape and where hips were in relation to feet. Lots of movement skills covered that were then used on harder routes later in the day. Great to see some adapt easily to cracks while they had struggled on the slab. something for everyone. Belaying skills were up to scratch quickly with some really good awareness shown by everyone. We even squeezed in some ropoe set ups, so they climbed on gthere own anchors and did an abseil. a full day. lots of laughing. great to be around.
