Climbing- 3rd December- Explorers
Its not long now until we will be having a great night out at Teesdale Climbing centre ! The fun it will be :). As have been a few times (enough to loose count) it feel it would be appropriate to say a few points:
- I would recommend taking about £10, this is because you may/will want to buy some food or drink from the vending machines; as you do get very hot and hungry when you are climbing.
- Practice your knot tying and belaying (if possible), this is for two reasons: the first is that currently at the centre the automatic belays are not in use and the second is that there is nothing worse than taking ages to get ready at the bottom of the climb or not been confident in what you are doing. So i would recommend you have a practice !
- Finally dont be scared to give anything a go as its completely safe as long as you are sensible.
- And i forgot have fun :)
See you all there at 6.30 next week !!!!

Good points Sam,
Get those figure of eight knots down to a fine art. There is a great animated 'how to' on-line website that shows it very well (cut and paste this link into your browser) http://www.animatedknots.com/fig8boating/index.php
We will need a minimum of £5 to climb, and whatever bits of money you require for a drink is up to you.
The Climbing Wall has 300 square metres of climbing surface. It boasts a variety of features including slabs, overhangs, freeform fibreglass and a belay ledge. With a height of 7.5 metres, 27 fixed ropes, there should be more than enough to keep us entertained.
Gripped!
