Wonderful to be out multi-pitch climbing with students again! Seems like ages since I've been using this skill set. It was a bit nippy and overcast, but I was surprised to find that we pretty much had the whole cliff and valley to ourselves.
I had three keen students with me, so neat rope work was essential to prevent some major tangles on the belay ledges. It was lovely to be facilitating an adventurous afternoon for some keen students and be imparting a bit of advanced knowledge, compared to your average rock climbing introduction!
After climbing three pitches, we scrambled along the summit ridge and then made the easy walk back to the bags. We even fitted in a brief stop for 'safety hot chocolates' outside the cafe, to ensure that we warmed up properly!
