Emergency Ropework for Climbers

I have been out with Jim today who is on my instructor mentor scheme. Jim is wanting to progress his personal multi pitch climbing and with a day of rain here in Snowdonia we decided to head to the Beacon Climbing Wall and look at some problem solving techniques. We looked at escaping the system in a single and multi pitch setting with bot direct and indirect belays, hoisting a stuck second and an injured second, ascending a rope and we also did some climbing! I provided some movement coaching and we also both practised taking and holding leader falls - on purpose! A good day despite the weather.
