New rock climbers! Jack and Isla climb at their local bouldering wall but this was their first time on rock 🧗Lovely to see them puzzling out the moves on routes that were initially declared ‘impossible’ 🥺… only for them to be doing laps on them by the end of the day 😎Moves were dialled, footholds memorised, and they looked very chilled on new challenges like blank slabs and steep cracks – all safely belayed by mum and dadDays like this – where I get the chance to share my love of climbing with whole families – are a real treat. Thank you all for great company, lots of laughs, some fantastic perseverance, excellent climbing, and tasty snacks 😁#rockclimbing #familydayout #halftermfun #kidswhoclimb … See MoreSee Less

Family fun – booked months ago, Zeb and Alex struck lucky with the half term weather for their day of rock climbing ☀️They scampered and squirmed up chimneys, walls, arêtes and overhangs at Head End quarry 🧗We escaped to the shade for lunch, and a review of recent orienteering exploits (bonus activity 🧭), then I set them loose with a selection of my nuts and cams so they could have a go at placing gear – they were naturals.Well done for some great climbing and thank you to trusty belayers James and Bob!#rockclimbing #familydayout #halftermfun#TheGreatOutdoors #orienteering … See MoreSee Less

A few good days – a bank holiday and a sunny forecast meant it was time to seek out some quieter crags… 🤫On Friday, @lily.tordoff smashed it up a couple of excellent VS’s at Little How Crag (highly recommend), rewarding ourselves with ice cream on the way home 🍦On Saturday, Alex, Peter and I headed to Brantrake (along with several other folk seeking a quiet crag 😆) to test our footwork on the steep granite slabs. Lovely friendly atmosphere and great to see folk pushing their grade 👏 Thanks for the photos @hayley_webb_adventures!Sunday it was time to head west for some sunny rock ☀️ A spot of leading, abseiling, bouldering…and lots of fun routes on perfect rock in a perfect setting 😎Looking forward to lots more sunny rock in the coming week 🧗#rockclimbing #tradclimbing #thisgirlcan #lakedistrict #ukclimbing … See MoreSee Less

Traditional climbing – thank you to the wonderful women who joined me for the second of this *summer’s @kendalwall_lcc women+ outdoor trad days this weekend *it does not appear to be summer yetWe embraced the challenge of tackling routes which involve techniques that you do not usually find in the climbing wall! Knees, elbows, and arses we deployed to excellent effect, as well as our usual elegant footwork and stylish weight transfer techniques 🧗We also enjoyed sampling the dark art of interpreting guidebook photos and deciphering the hidden meaning behind phrases such as “…gain the ledge by an awkward or dynamic move”!! Thank you Mel for coordinating, and everyone for your enthusiasm for rock climbing in non-optimum conditions. I was blown away at your tenacity and your ability to scurry up routes despite numb fingers and questionable friction as the rain set in… 👏Really excited for the final day looking at how to improve our ‘headgame’ when trad climbing 🧠@ami_professionals #tradclimbing #rockclimbing #womenwhoclimb #lakedistrict #britishweather … See MoreSee Less
