Problem solving! Work this week has included three fun-filled days getting folks skilled up for the trad season. Would you know what to do if your climbing partner couldn’t get up the crux in the middle of a multi-pitch route? Or your abseil ropes got stuck? We tied off ropes, prusiked up ropes (and back down again), abseiled past knots, and generally extracted ourselves from a whole host of tricky situations using some basic climbing problem-solving techniques. Oh, and we chatted about how to avoid getting into a pickle in the first place!Thank you @pinnacleclubuk @esther_foster @ktclimbandmountaineering and everyone who came along to a skills day this week – have a wonderful summer of climbing adventures 🧗☀️#tradclimbing #rockclimbing #climbingskills #femaleinstructors #girlswhoclimb #amiprofessionals … See MoreSee Less

Trust – climbing for me is all about trust. Trust that your feet will stay on that tiny foothold, trust that you will find some gear and unlock the route, and trust that your partners have got your back.Sometimes it all comes together in a perfect day where you push yourself, fail a bit along the way, but succeed in seeking out an amazing experience.A real treat to share some great belays, stunning views, and amazing rock with my lovely climbing partners as we cajoled and supported each other on a route that challenged us, but also brought out the best in us.Thanks @jameskelly41 and MB!#tradclimbing #rockclimbing #lakedistrict #scafell #eastbuttress #springtime … See MoreSee Less

Trad transformation – really lovely couple of days on the crag with Jane and Gem who are making the jump from sport climbing to trad climbingGetting all the skills in place at sunny, sheltered Hutton Roof on Saturday before heading into the Lakes for some multi-pitch trad at Shepherd’s CragLovely to see them both putting their skills into practice with some bomber gear placements, good ropework, and even looking happy on a rather small and chilly belay ledge this morning before the sun came round!#tradclimbing #rockclimbing #lakedistrict #borrowdale #belaysnacks #minicheddars #girlswhoclimb #femaleinstructor #amiprofessionals … See MoreSee Less

Trad climbing – always a joy to take some sport climbers / boulderers and turn them into trad climbers! Wonderful couple of sunny days working for @lake_district_mountaineering 🙏 introducing Jack and Alastair to climbing in the Lakes. We started by weaving our way up a busy Middlefell Buttress – big shout out to all the other instructors on the crag for being lovely and sharing belays 👍Then we upped the fun by climbing Revelation and rounded things off with a stylish ascent of Troutdale Pinnacle today. Despite being new to trad climbing, the guys picked up all the skills super quick, and dealt with the exposure really well 🤩 opening the door to many more adventure ahead 🧗📷 thanks Alastair and @jack_homan_insta for some fab photos and great company on the belays#tradclimbing #rockclimbing #lakedistrict #langdale #borrowdale #amiprofessionals #femaleinstructor … See MoreSee Less

Freedom – a day in the calendar with a group of friends from Durham. An iffy forecast. Sharing out spare hats and thermals in the car park. Catching up on busy lives as we follow the winding path up the mountain. Joy and satisfaction as we reach the top. Chatter as we point downhill, space and silence as the clouds drift to reveal the sun and we each choose a path along the grassy spur. The rest of the world forgotten for a day.#hillwalking #nature #friendship #getoutdoors #freedom #wellbeing #lakedistrict #miniadventure … See MoreSee Less
