Cross-border raid – “do you fancy heading up Langdale?” “Er no, we’re going to Gogarth…”Sea cliff shenanigans in a team of three. This is not work.A curious decision to climb with two red ropes. A karabiner of wires sailing back down the first pitch, necessitating a second lap.A cunning plan to back-rope the middle person across the traverse, resulting in me getting temporarily stranded on the half-way ledge (not for the first time…) Delicate steps linking delicate holds in the quiet space above the sparkling sea Choughs dancing behind us, a bemused seal watching from below. Scampering out the top of the last pitch as the sun sets…#tradclimbing #seacliffclimbing #gogarth #dayoffwork … See MoreSee Less

Problem solving – had a lovely day working for @esther_foster on a self-rescue course. Lots of questions for me to ponder, puzzles for people to solve, sharing of top tips, and generally messing about with ropes!One of the most enjoyable parts of training to be a mountaineering instructor was learning lots of rescue techniques. Some are pretty complex, but lots can be picked up by anyone, giving you a little bit more of a safety net if things don’t quite go to plan on some of those more adventurous routes on the sea cliffs or in the mountains 🧗⛰️#tradclimbing #mountaineering #mountaineeringandclimbinginstructor #amiprofessionals #girlswhoclimb … See MoreSee Less

New climbers! – this lovely lot got in touch to book an intro to climbing day back in January(!). After a few false starts and lots of juggling to get diaries to line up, we finally got out in November 🤩🍁The weather was kind, the team were psyched to finally get on real rock, there were a lot of laughs, and we got everyone climbing their first routes 🧗Thank you to Amelia for finally getting all the boys organised, and to trainee-RCI Sarah B for some awesome support on the day#tradclimbing #rockclimbing #girlswhoclimb #amiprofessionals … See MoreSee Less

Cracking couple of days working for @lake_district_mountaineering on a scrambling course in Langdale and Patterdale. The weather was nearly dry* and it was really lovely to see big grins at the top of each route as people surpassed their expectations on some classic routes.*ok, it was a bit damp, but it wasn’t cold 😀Thank you for the good company in these beautiful autumnal mountains ⛰️🍁#amiprofessionals #lakedistrictclimbing #langdale #patterdale … See MoreSee Less

Autumn sun – October half term is a tricky one to book in advance but Phil, Mae and I grabbed the best-looking day and were rewarded with a peaceful, sunny crag.The brief was ‘as much climbing as possible‘ whilst also learning some skills to become independent climbers. Lots of multi-pitch climbing was done – “ooh, a mono!” – and lots of gear was placed. We didn’t drop any humans or gear and the ropes didn’t get themselves in a tangle 🤩🧗🍁⛰️Thank you for a lovely day of cragging and good company (and an excellent chocolate cookie)#amiprofessionals #rockclimb #lakedistrictclimbing #lakedistrict #langdale #girlswhoclimb … See MoreSee Less
