Peak Mountaineering

The climbing blog of Paul Lewis

The next generation

February 20, 2010 at 10:43 pm · Filed under peak mountaineering

Over the last few days Peak Mountaineering has been running some climbing sessions for local school children. I started my climbing career as a young cub scout and it’s always been a big part of our ethos to try and introduce the next generation to the sport that has given us so much.

So, over three days 2 groups came for 3 mornings or afternoons of introductory climbing and skill development. They saw, climbed, belayed, bouldered, shouted (quite a lot!) and laughed their way through some of the best instructor fun I’ve had in ages. Many thanks to Amy and Paul for making the sessions possible and a massive well done to all the little cragrats. Now, just MAKE SURE you keep it up!

I would like to say a big thank you for all the fun and adventure I had on my first time at climbing.

I was very worried the night before we started but as soon as I got going i just loved it.

I was really suprised at how high i could climb and because of your brilliant teaching I am now going to get together with a few of my friends and go climbing again.

My Mum and dad were proud of me too.

Thank you very very much for letting me try a sport I would not normally choose to do.

I can not wait to get my certificate.

from Victoria Calvert.

It was a real pleasure Victoria. Great to hear you are going to do some more too. Certificates will be with you soon.
