AMI Trainee Short Roping Day

Today I ran one of the AMI trainee days in the Lakes.

This day was designed around looking at Short Roping and allowing the trainees to consolidate and learn new tricks before there MIA assessment.

We headed up the decent path of Raven Crag then up the decent of Gimmer Crag then on to the scrambles on the side of Pike ‘o’ Stickle.

That evening I met up with Alan Hailwood and legged it up to White Ghyll, Al is from the North so rock that is dry, quick to get to and not covered in moss was a delight for the lad.

I led him up Waste Not Want Not E1 5b, Do Knot Direct E1 5b, Slip Knot VS 4c and Laugh Knot then to the pub.
