I have been out with John today who is on my trainee instructor mentor scheme. John has never been climbing outside before but is always up for a challenge and fancied a play on the sea cliffs so we headed to Castell Helen at Gogarth. His first outdoor route was Lighthouse Arete (VS 4c) which we climbed in 4 pitches and had John pushing his limits on the crux! We then moved across to Holyhead Mountain and climbed Stairs (S 4a) in 2 pitches. It has been dry and sunny all day and it was nice to be on warm rock in the sunshine.
