After quiet anticipation of the looming weather front moving in over the weekend we were pleasantly greeted by sunshine for most of the day on Saturday.
Bottom roping warm up at Black Rock Gulch.
I met Aaron and Pierre down at the coast for a days climbing on their 'Intro to Rock' day. With indoor experience and a keen interest in progressing their skills outdoors both the guys were psyched!
Climbing into the sun.
Taking in the beautiful day and some of the more accessible local crags we spent the day getting in as much climbing as possible whilst introducing the bigger concepts and thinking around Trad climbing.
Escaping the tide at Deceptive Wall.
Aaron seconding The Pobble (VS 4b**), Souter Head.
We looked at some simple anchor set-ups and both Aaron and Pierre had a go at setting them up themselves to bring each other up a climb.
A happy if not blinded by the sun Pierre!
A fantastic days weather and an even better days climbing!
