Another day and another weather warning! All those glorious bright autumn days back at the start of the month seem like a distant memory given the last few weeks. On the plus side, we have many fantastic indoor climbing walls around here to keep the climbing psych high and the fingers strong. I had hoped to run a trip to the wall in Liverpool, but given the Met Office warnings about conditions on the road, we thought it prudent to stay a little closer to home. The Boardroom at Deeside was our best option and once again, we had a great day out.
One of the 'features' at The Boardroom is the huge overhanging bouldering wall. No ropes on this, just some gymnastic mats below you to cushion the fall should you slip or your arms give up! Even doing a practice fall was pretty scary to be honest, so when the chance came to give it a try, I was keen to make it safely to the top (successful ascents end by topping out and walking down a stair case). Deep breathing and steady progress (without looking down or hesitation!) saw me to the top twice during the day.
We also did plenty of roped climbs and started to look at the skills required for lead climbing with some of the older students in the group. It was a good lively place to be, while a gale was blowing outside.
