AMI Trainee workshop

-


I was running a scrambling workshop for the Association of Mountaineering Instructors today. I was joined by Mike, Mat and Mark and they opted to go over to the Main Cliff of Glyder Fach and climb Sharks Buttress with a descent of Bristly Ridge via the steeper east side. We looked at route finding, carrying coils, locking off body coils, managing stances, belays, lowering two people at the same time and counter balance abseils. The weather was a bit mixed with a warm walk into the mist and quite a chilly ascent to the top of Glyder Fach. All the best for your pending assessment guys.

I was over in Shropshire over the last few days conducting some assessments on a variety of rope activities such as high ropes courses, abseiling and climbing. During today's assessments we were visited by a very special guest and a hero of mine. "Tell 'em about the honey mummy" it was no other than the Honey Monster! The HM was on site during a photo shoot and was trying out various activities. I also had the pleasure of assessing a distant relative of Sir George Everest today and I'm glad to say he passed his abseiling with flying colours, as did everyone else. 😊✔
