Consolidation and improvement

With a day off work Ross was out for more action again yesterday at Ballater.

We were looking at building on the anchor selection and stance construction that we had covered the other week.  Ross was also keen to get on some harder ground.

Tying in to the stance.

After some climbing we looked at multiple point anchor systems and the different considerations when setting them up to belay a seconding climber.

Ross was leading again amidst the harder routes I was throwing at him and consolidating his experience and leading capability.  There's not many pictures today as we were hard at it and a number of the climbs we were on such as Medium Cool (VS***) did not offer great photo opportunities.
