DESCRIPTION OF ROUTE:
Today was a chance for us to lead our first Multi Pitched Route; we took it in turns to Lead each route in series with Tim in the middle. This was good practice to try different Belay and anchor techniques, we also covered rescuing and assisting our second and group management on a multi pitched climb. The conditions where challenging but was good to practice in these conditions. Before abseiling down from each route we looked and practiced protecting a traverse.
