So it rained pretty much for the duration of the 2 days but we got plenty done!
With a low ratio private course you can cover a lot of ground over just a few days. David came not knowing too much about outdoor cimbing. He had climbed indoors and out a few times but wanted to know more about Outdoor climbing and lead climbing. Over the 2 days we looked at a vast amount of skills including becoming a competent second, placing and removing protection, fixing top anchors, abseiling, belaying from the top and bottom of the crag, holding a fall, lowering, building top and bottom rope systems, climbing grades, equipment and loads more!

We visited Harborough Rocks, Yarncliffe, Stanage and the Climbing Works.
