Family day out

Yesterday I was out with family of three; Jana, Carter and Maddie for a half days climbing at the local sea cliffs. We made the most of the weather and headed to Black Rock Gulch for their first experience of rock climbing.

Not only did everyone pick up the climbing quickly but also the technical side of tying in and belaying; a whole family of natural climbers!  To round off the session an abseil down the crag landed us back at the bags.  Carter descended first with Maddie and Jana abseiling together.
