Good two days instructing. Although would've been better if the weather was on our side and we could have gone to Charleston but instead we were indoors. I ran the belay talk on the first day which went well. We also taught them how to put on a harness, figure of 8 knots, top-rope climbing and abseiling. On Wednesday we introduced lead climbing to upskill their learning. It went well and the kids enjoyed their two days with us.

Cruisy walk up to Cedar flat on a late saturday afternoon. We started walking at 3.30pm, didn't get there till 7.30pm in the dark. Easy track to stick to and we all had head torches so it was algood. stayed in one of the older huts. The newest one was full but we got this one to ourselves. We walked up to the natural hot pools after dinner and stayed there till midnight and we were lucky to have a full moon that night too. Was really awsome. Left in the afternoon the following day finishing at 4.30pm. Fish and chips at Hokitika fish and chip shop to complete a w.e!

Rock-Instruction
Date: Tues 5th- Fri 8th June 2012
Location: Greymouth Civic Centre, Charlston
Duration: 4 days
Weather: Rain, one day fine.
Instructors: Myself, Jacob Schrama, Owen Ripley, Luke Wilson
Tutors in charge: Phil Johnston
Accidents/incidents: None
The week was mainly indoors at the gym because of the bad weather but didn't go too badly considering. We had a mix of clients all week from school kids to adults. One of the days we only had three clients which worked out quite well in the end in terms of teaching. We got to teach them the basics to lead climbing which was a bit different to the other days of just sticking to top-roping. Taught how to put on harnesses correctly, how to tie a figure of 8 knot, belaying and setting up and running an abseil. We only had one day outdoors at Charlston when the weather decided to be on our side. We only managed to get through abseiling though with no climbing because we ran out of time.
