  • This weekend had first trad climbing experience outside of mountaineering routes

    The rock was technically easy to climb, but a bit scary. Positive slope means falling to the last anchor will hurt a lot

    Turns out I didn't know some essential things about building anchors (like the correct way to clip into self-equalizing anchor). Also lack of practice since the spring made me work way slower than I used to

    But thanks to the great mountaineer leading our group we learned a lot in a single day, even practised with 6-8 types of anchors

    ..at the very end I chipped away a corn kernel sized piece of fingernail while hammering out some pitons in the dark ^~^

    Back from a trip to the Lake District. On the negative side, I didn't get three days climbing... On the super-positive side, I did get two days of Mountain Training Development Coach training with the ever-excellent John Kettle PLUS a day of climbing at Trowbarrow Quarry. As a bonus, also a nice stay at Lyndhurst Guest House in Kendal and a play at KendalWall on their long autobelays.#MountainTraining #Climbing #TradClimbing #Coaching #ClimbingIsMyPassion #Kendal #LakeDistrict #LimestoneClimbing
