Problem Solving at Wild Cat...

Today was the second of two days of problem solving and improvised rescue for members of the Not So Trad Climbing Club.

Jules Barrett joined Kim, Thea, Patrick, Loic and I at Wild Cat, to make a more effective coaching ratio of 1:2. We spent the day putting into practice many of the techniques practiced yesterday, along with some stance management and an ascent of 'Golden Yardstick' VS 4b,5a,4a.

Thea is pictured on the left recovering an "unconscious" Kim who was stuck on a free hanging abseil. The classic test piece "The Catcuss Furballs Connection" E5 6b lies above - climbed by local Belper lads Darran Hawkins and Malc Taylor back in the 80's....
