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.
