Winter Season Session 12:00 - 15:30
5x participants using redeemed BUYAGIFT vouchers for a rock climbing experience at Avon Gorge, Bristol.
Session structure:
- Intro & briefing
- Helmets & harnesses
- How to rethread a fig. 8 knot and finish with a stopper knot.
- How to belay using a Gri-Gri.
- How to lower a climber & and how to descend from the wall
- How to hold a fall.
With larger groups I usually will get the group to do peer belaying (bell ringing). But with smaller groups I will always ask them if they would like to be taught a few basic skills so that they get more from the session and have some fundamentals to work on if they decide to take up the sport.
Finished the session with an abseil form the top of the buttress.
Rigging was from bolted anchors, reached by abseiling from the top of the buttress.
No issues encountered
