Psyched students – fantastic weekend with Tessa and Ellen from @sheffieldmountaineering on the uni club’s Women+ Multipitch WeekendFrom sunshine on Shepherd’s to soggier conditions on Corvus… we covered a host of skills to stay safe when climbing in the mountains:✅ multipitch ropework✅ climbing as a three✅ belay changeovers ✅ route finding ✅ abseiling ✅ basic self-rescue✅ mountain navigationPlus the important skills of snacking on belay ledges, and all of us occasionally deploying a tactical ‘alpine knee’Thank you @sheffieldmountaineering for the opportunity to work with such a wonderful bunch of students again. Great to see uni clubs thriving and valuing opportunities to pass skills onto the next generation of climbers and mountaineers#rockclimbing #mountaineering #uniclubs #girlswhoclimb #snacksinpockets @ami_professionals … See MoreSee Less

Self-rescue skills in the Lake District – could also be referred to as ‘problem solving’ days, or ‘avoiding getting into a scrape in the first place’ days!Places still available on Sunday 17 May (the day after my next Kendal Wall women+ trad skills day, which is sadly/happily sold out – depending on your point of view…)Rest of this post is not enticing photos of climbing, but a reminder of how beautiful the Lake District is in spring 🌿#rockclimbing #climbingskills #lakedistrict #femaleinstructor #naturephotography … See MoreSee Less

Rock skills – a fantastic sunny day for the first of this summer’s women+ trad climbing skills days run by @kendalwall_lcc ☀️🧗Hutton Roof crag was the venue for a day focused on placing gear and building belays. For some, it was their first time using trad gear, for others it was a chance to brush up on skills, and for all it was an opportunity to ask lots of questions in a friendly environment with excellent cake.Loads of great gear was placed and a host of excellent belays were built!Thank you to Mel for all the hard work organising and to everyone who came along bringing smiles and enthusiasmLooking forward to the next skills day in May when we will be focusing on movement on rock 🧗@ami_professionals #rockclimbing #tradclimbing #womenwhoclimb #femaleinstructor #lakedistrict … See MoreSee Less

Staying safe and having fun – these are my two primary goals for a day at the crag!Amy and Tom recently joined me for a two-day refresher of trad skills as they prepare for a summer of climbing and mountaineering. We set out with the goal of building trust in gear and improving head game. We ended up not only covering a whole host of technical and tactical skills, but also some basic self-rescue skills, including:✅ tying off a belay plate✅ lowering people safely✅ ascending a rope using prusiks✅ options for retreating from a routeAll safely covered despite a backdrop of stupidly strong winds and occasional hail showers! 💨❄️If you’re keen to brush up your trad problem-solving skills before the summer, why not join one of our ‘intro to self rescue’ courses on 26 April or 17 May.
