Crag Skills And Having Fun

On Friday I was working with the First Year Students from WHC on the ATM degree course. We wanted to cover bottom + top roping, belaying leaders and abseiling, so with a few showers forecast we headed to the Ice Factor for a guaranteed learning environment. We covered the syllabus with time to spare so everybody got a chance to have some fun, just climbing - another day of having fun at work - incredible!

Lena and I went back today to play with the articulated wall. The photo shows how far out it can go - and at this point we could only get up the left green and pink routes - great indoor fun.
