Climbing Movement

After 4 days in the sun in the Lakes, today I was working indoors at Glasgow Climbing Centre. Jens and Hannah are self taught climbers but had hit a bit of a plateau on the grades. I watched them climb a bit and then introduced them to some simple concepts of climbing movement to help them improve. We did a lot of bouldering an looked at some drills. Finally Jens managed to climb one route he'd never made it past the second clip on with a little coaching- hopefully both will continue to improve and enjoy their climbing in the future.
