The photographer was for reasons of safety harnessed to the rock
for some of these pictures.
This picture also shows one of the bolted belay points used for lead climbing. |

We set up several climbs at the same time and during the course of
the day they were moved about.

This Scout on the other hand is not a confident climber.
When we have taken him climbing before he has never got much
further than a foot of the ground.
Today he decided was the day he was going to conquer his
fear of climbing. He announced to his patrol that his target
was to climb to at least his own height. He exceeded his
target.
In the picture on the left our expert Scout shows us that he can be
constructive and supportive by spending some time helping a nervouse Scout pass a technical bit.

In the picture on the right, our nervouse Scout has just looked down and realized
that he isn't that tall. The climb started with the blue helmeted belayer in the bottom right of the picture. This was definitely higher than his
target!
A Scout and a leader are attached to the rock by a couple of
slings and are standing on a ledge half way up the face. They are still coaching our nervouse climber.
On the day, our nervouse Scout tried at least two climbs and spent a
lot of time bouldering and practicing at lower levels. He is
now a much more confident climber.
