Rock Climbing on the Isle of Man

A few shots from the Chasms today! We trotted down to 'Tower Slabs' to introduce a few very keen beginners to their first ascents, in this well known Eastern Section of the Chasms - beneath the eye catching 'Tower Butress'. As we began setting up anchors and learning a few knots, looking across we spied Dougie flashing up 'Pushing Daisies' - E5, with Beef belaying below. Phenomenal!!



















Full sequence on my Picassa gallery by Monday :)

After the students gained confidence on some less demanding routes, we scurried quickly past 'Pushing Daisies' and did some bouldering problems on a sheltered section of rock above Torque Test wall. With this going well, we then put up a top rope a more challenging route to finish the session on a pump!


And lastly an image from Thursday's Youth Scholarship hill navigation, finishing in the plantation after a route up over the hills and through a little bit of fog!
