Well I had another day teach lead climbing, this was an intro course so the main aim was to give my two clients the fundamental skills required to lead safely on there own. I concentrated on placing gear (Nuts, Hexes, Slings and Cams), extending them appropriately and constructing belays that meet the IDEAS principles.

The weekend course was a great chance for my to clients get loads of practice under my watchful. I managed to take a couple of snaps whilst they were busy placing gear and working out where the route went.
