Rope Skills Course

I have been joined for the weekend by Rachel, Roger and Ian for a rope skills course. Today was spent in heavy rain at Fach Wen near Llanberis looking at Building single and multi pitch belays that are in reach and out of reach.
Building top rope systems.
Lowering a climber to the ground.
Holding a fall.
Using direct and indirect belays.
Double rope technique.
Protecting abeils.
Building efficient retrievable abseils.
Abseiling in a multi pitch setting.
The forecast is for a brighter day tomorrow so fingers crossed!
