On Tuesday we went rock climbing for
the day. Rather than climb in the high
Alps we head north to a lower and warmer
altitude and climb in a quarry.
The quarry has lots of
relatively easy climbs very close together so it is
easier for the leaders to manage several routes.
The more routes we have closer together the more goes
the Scouts, Explorers and Networkers can have at
Climbing.

BEING LOWERED
CAN'T HANDLE
THE HEAT
The problem was
the heat. Being at a lower altitude it was
hotter. And the quarry is semi circular so no
wind gets in, the rock is light and reflects the suns
heat. Some people spent a lot of time resting in
the shade.
THE GIRLS
SHOW US HOW IT IS DONE
NEARLY THERE
In the morning we were climbing up and lowering down.
Abseiling was saved for the afternoon.
