Beginners’ Climbing Meet: Silvermine E

Climbing 23 January 2017 Beginners’ Climbing Meet: Silvermine E

Brian Lambourne together with co-leader Andrew Harding-Goodman ran a beginners’ climbing meet with seven participants on 22 January at Silvermine East.

After mastering basic climbing knots and practising the skill of belaying, participants each had the opportunity of climbing and belaying using a top rope that had been set up, and thereafter abseiling.

One of the participants fell unexpectedly whilst climbing, allowing her belayer to demonstrate how to arrest a fall correctly!
