Last week saw the Rock Over climbing Easter school heading out for 3 days. On Wednesday morning we worked at the centre on our climbing techniques and skills, we also practised our rope work, belaying and roped climbing. Then in the afternoon we headed north to Brownstones where we spent the afternon bouldering in the sun. It was a great start to the course.

Thursday was spent at Cadshaw Castle Rocks, where we worked on our belaying, route selection, learnt how the ropes were set up and climbed loads. We worked our way up through the grades, from Moderate upto E2! It was another beautiful day and loads of climbing done in a great location.

Friday saw the team head to Denham, where we warmed up on some easy climbs, then climbed up and over the cliff, to then absiel back down again. We then headed to the great roof area, where we tackled three routes 2 classic HS 4a, and then a whopping E3 6a, with only the heat and a bit of vegetation stopping Aiden just near the top. I think there is a bit of a rematch to be planned there.

Over the 3 days everyone learnt new skills, we climbed loads at 3 great venues and generally had a great time making new friends.
