Hi,
I was out practising the “set piece problems” you described in your article with a friend. I couldn’t quite come up with an answer for points and 1,2,3,4.

Could you give us an explanation?

Comment on CPD Instructor Courses 22nd and 23rd Oct by Mark Reeves

Hi Kirsty

To be honest the response to these courses, has been totally underwhealming and unless you had a few people who wanted to do a specific course then I am not sure I will run them again. However I might well be running them for coaches at a proposed North Wales Climbing Academy, if I do, I will advertise those courses. So far I haver had one person on two of the courses, and sadly this means they are not financially viable.

All the best

Mark
