Rope Skills Course


We had a beautiful day of sunshine today and spent the day in the Ogwen valley looking at solving problems such as:
Stuck climber.
Accompanied abseils.
Escaping from the system.
Dealing with an unconcious second
Lowering past a knot
Hoisting - useful for crevasse rescue, haul bags or hoisting an injured or stuck second. I then met up with a couple of friends for a quick climb in the Slate quarries and a beer at the pub on a lovely crisp autumnal evening. Its beginning to feel like winter is on the way!
