Rock-Personal

Date: Sat' 30th July
Location: Charlston
Weather: fine and sunny
Group members: Keiran, Jimmy, Sara, West Coast Alpine Club members
Key Learning: Rescue skills (Assisted Hoist), Practising trad on lead up an easy grade 10. :)

Went to Charlston for the day as we'd heard from Alex and Jack at climbing that an NZOIA rock 2 instructor is coming up to teach a few things. We went along to basically just listen and learn about a few things at a higher level. It was really interesting. We got shown how to escape the system and do an assisted hoist and then practised doing the assisted hoist afterwards. Me, Keiran, Sara and Jimmy decided to practise trad climbing, placing gear and leading but it was only on a grade 10 climb. You can pritty much walk up it but it was still sweet. So overall a pritty relaxed, fun day at Charlston as always!
