NNAS assessment for Lower 6th

 

 

Depleted numbers today due to illness and injury, but the three students performed very well in the conditions. Well done

 

 

 

Off into the mist

 

 

It was even sunny a little bit

 

 

 

Re-folding the map having caught it with a rugby-style leap

 

 

We met some of the army

 

 

 

Then it snowed...

 

 

...quite a lot...

 

...and was windy...

 

 

...then snowed, was windy and sunny at the same time

Rigging practice at Bonehill Rocks

 

Largely clear skies greeted us at Bonehill Rocks today,

 

 

 

We looked at placing boulder mats,

 

then spotting people while bouldering

 

 

We then looked at rigging top ropes

 

 

People came up with good systems

 

 

and were glad about it

 

 

Then we made some more

 

 

 

and then more again

 

 

before 'doing it for real' at the edge of the crag and dropping a rope down.

 

 

Lower 6th Navigation

 

 

They found the first Tor no problem

 

 

 

We found the last of the snow left over from the weekend

 

 

 

It wasn't all walking down hill!

Upper 6th climbing refresh

 

 

We were at Dart Rock for our climbing refresh, amazing how much was remembered given that the students hadn't been climbing for a year!

 

 

 

They enjoyed the crocodile game the most!

Lower 6th Nav in the snow (showers)

A wintery day on the moor, but with sunshine and stunning views. All the students did very well considering this is their second day of navigation.  Well done and keep it up
