WOC25 – my ‘other job’ took me to Finland this week where I was supporting the GB team competing at this year’s World Orienteering Championships Tough forests and challenging navigation! The team fought hard and ran smart in the Middle Distance, Long Distance, and Relay disciplines to be rewarded with some fantastic results.Check out @britishorienteering for full details on the races, great photos, and sweaty interviews from the athletes!#navigation #orienteering #Ilovemaps #terrainrunning … See MoreSee Less

Multi-pitching – my second time out with Cath. She has taken to leading trad like a duck to water so we stepped it up this time to tackle a multi-pitch route.She looked completely at ease as she led Middlefell Buttress, placing loads of great gear, and building solid belays 👍We topped out just before the rain came in so grabbed a snack and added waterproofs before tackling the abseils. Cath is used to being in the mountains in all weather, so she wasn’t phased by the conditions as we carefully stepped through all the safety checks before descending.#tradclimbing #lakedistrict #langdale #ukclimbing #britishweather #girlswhoclimb #amiprofessionals … See MoreSee Less

Escaping the crowds – working for @lake_district_mountaineering the last couple of days it was lovely to be able to re-introduce Stuart to the joys of climbing in the Lake District! Careful reading of the forecast saw us enjoy two nearly-dry days at two different Raven Crags – Langdale and Borrowdale. We had the crags to ourselves and got to enjoy my favourite part of multi-pitch climbing: sitting on a spacious ledge enjoying the view ☺️#tradclimbing #multipitchclimbing #mountaineering #lakedistrict #langdale #borrowdale #ukclimbing #guidedclimbing #amiprofessionals … See MoreSee Less

Climbing journeys – Shepherd’s Crag was the place to be on Thursday afternoon! Anna and I weaved between the crowds and climbed the wonderful ‘Ardus’.3D climbing skills were deployed on the steep corner and then delicate footwork and bravery across the slab. We abseiled to collect the nut that Anna threw down the crag and the shoe that I threw down the crag 😆 then did a spot of prusiking practice after Anna asked “what do you do if you fall off on a traverse?” (which we didn’t today, but you never know…)Then Saturday was snatched from the jaws of defeat after the @du.mountaineering car driver did not materialise… the lads jumped on a train to Carlisle and we headed to Headend Quarry to practice a range of skills (plus some bouldering as it is very hard for students to be next to some rock and not climb it…)Placing gear, building belays, abseiling, prusiking up ropes, the dark art of belaying two ropes, and even building hanging belays in preparation for future sea cliff adventures 🤩Lovely to see these students build skills and confidence over the last 8 months and launch them off on their summer adventures#tradclimbing #ukclimbing #lakedistrict #borrowdale #amiprofessionals #femaleinstructor #girlswhoclimb #britishweather #universityclubs … See MoreSee Less

Optimism – Sunday started out sunny, then it got a bit grey… and at some point the dampness turned into actual rain!Top marks to Nick and Andrew for optimism and perseverance during our day at the crag on Sunday building experience and confidence in trad climbing skillsAnd a big thank you to @jake_simpson_guiding for supporting me as a ‘shadow’ instructor for the day as he works towards qualifying as a mountaineering and climbing instructor (he will be awesome at it)#tradclimbing #climbingintherain #borrowdale #amiprofessionals #mountaineeringandclimbinginstructor … See MoreSee Less
