Just back from two days down West with my 2 novices. We have been blessed by some fantastic weather and conditions, and this has given the guys a great opportunity towork hard at their climbing. I am pleased to report that they are both doing really well, both are leading with increased confidence and saftey! We've had no injuries, apart from Nick dragging his knuckles across the granite (I think his hands are soft from all the washing up he does at home). Colin has bought some proper climbing shoes, which has given him extra confidence. Nick has spotted this change in Colin's climbing and is now determined to get a pair for himself at the weekend. Talking of which, it's Bank Holiday this weekend, and it looks as though the weather is going to stay fine...yippee. Newquay is beginning to get busy already. Fortunately I've managed to do my food shopping this evening and won't have to fight my way round the supermarket tomorrow evening. I think we will head to the secluded crags at St Clether tomorrow, but in the meantime, here's some photos from the past couple of days.... |
