Climbing Wall Award Training

On my way home from Wales I stopped off to run a Mountain Training Scotland Climbing Wall Award Training Course at Perth UHI Climbing Wall. 3 people came along on the course including another AMI member Jess who was there to get an insight into the differences between working outside and at the wall. The climbing wall environment is different from the outdoor crags I also teach on and has its own restrictions and opportunities. I really enjoy working on these courses and helping give candidates some great coaching tools and an insight into the high level of planning and judgment required to coach the widest range of new lead climbers on artificial walls.
