Slow travel: a short trip to Slovenia – by train! – for a week of orienteering. Lovely to see the forests carpeted by wildflowers as spring creeps across Europe…… then straight back on rock on return to the Lakes! The crags are lovely and dry at the moment. Perfect for a day out with a client yesterday – putting all the pieces together from a series of skills days over the past few months. They led a couple of multi-pitch routes, complete with decision-making about where to climb, where to place gear, what gear to place, and how to safely get back to the ground by abseil. Ready to go for the summer climbing season! 😀Looking forward to more rock skills days coming up, getting folk ready for summer adventures. Get in touch if you are keen to brush up your trad skills 🧗#rockclimbing #tradclimbing #RockSkills #lakedistrict #orienteering #lipicaopen #slovenia #travelbytrain … See MoreSee Less

Happy International Women’s Day! I love this photo of one of my clients enjoying the simple pleasure of sitting on a rocky ledge with nothing to do other than enjoy the view (and belay her partner). Just over half the people I spend time with on the hill are women – a big shout out to all of you who have either surprised yourself with what you can achieve or fellow female instructors (and those who support us) who are smashing it and helping to create outdoor spaces that welcoming to all #allwelcome #girlswhoclimb #femaleinstructors … See MoreSee Less

Trad tactics – maybe you’ve got a bit stronger, or a bit braver, at the climbing wall this winter. How’s that gonna transfer when you head outside?Great day out with @lake_district_mountaineering topping up our trad skills ready for spring:– deciphering the guidebook so we actually climb the right bit of rock! 😉– seeking out crucial gear placements… and hanging on while we track down the right piece of gear from all the stuff clipped to our harness 😳– creativity when you realise the gear you need is in the belay or on your partner’s harness 😅– and self-preservation tactics to ensure fingers and toes don’t go numb with cold halfway up the route! 😰Get in touch to book a trad top-up day, and dust off the cobwebs before you head outside this summer 🧗#rockclimbing #tradclimbing #lakedistrict #getoutside #nature #climbinginstructor #amiprofessionals #girlswhoclimb … See MoreSee Less
