Its been a busy spell with all sorts of weather coming through! Some photos below of a recent course we ran in Scotland for Ivan and Bobby taking in Tower Ridge in much better weather than expected and then using Polldubh Crags for a training day on day 2 to hide from the wet and windy weather which came in. We covered lots of skills at Polldubh which are useful to add to your ‘bag of tools’ when looking to become independent in your climbing and to be able to sort out any un-expected situations that could arise… We looked at abb retreat and set up, backing up abb anchors, hoisting a 2nd, climbing a rope using prusiks, placing gear as well as getting some big boot climbing in on the classic route ‘The Gutter’. Thanks for the photos Bobby!
