Posing at the Glenmore Lodge wall.
This workshop focussed on providing a forum for all participants to put forward their desired topics to cover over the two days. The main topics included problem solving, rescues, multi-pitch stance management and teaching climbing.
Self lining at Huntly's Cave.
On Saturday we headed to Huntly's Cave to make the most of the reasonably nice weather and steep ground for hanging around.
Mmm knots... Guide plate orientation and climber attachment.
Sunday was horrific in terms of weather so; instead of attempting to bear the 90mph gusts we based ourselves at Glenmore Lodge and worked on the bolts and climbing wall there. From basic rigging drills through to rescuing unconscious climbers on the end of a rope and escaping the system we managed to get through a lot of topics before the brains began to melt. At which point tea and cake was on the minds heralding the end of the workshop.
What you'd do to rescue your buddy!
Another hugely valuable weekend dusting off the cobwebs and bringing different minds and experiences together.
Weather permitting; Ben and I will be out at the cliffs looking at similar topics as he is pushing his multi-pitch climbing experiences and is looking to be confident in dealing with common problems and their simple solutions.
