Training
Report
So last Monday
I held a basic indoor session for both Duffy (not that I feel you needed it
after all) and Dan our new member we looked at kit and its functions,
ascending, descending and change overs.
And last night
we did a introductory trip into calf holes looking at traverse lines and single
pitch work. We did it as a pull though which he really liked knowing the only
way is down ☺. He did really well. On the first pitch I had a safety line
on him and then for the second I gave him the option not to have one and took
to it really well.
Considering
that's the second night Dan's been in a harness with no climbing experience
that's really good progress. I think another trip to Alum, Sunset, Jingling or Bull Pot
Kingdale to look at ascending, and then the wall for deviations and re-belays
and I think he will be good to start doing a good trip that meets grade 3 and
easy 4 SRT routes. The rest will come with time and experience as you all know.
