Late November saw some interesting developments in the local coaching scene in North Wales. A selection event was held at the Beacon Climbing Wall, based around an informal competition. An academy of 20 talented young climbers was selected, based on a mixture of potential as individuals and as team players. This was followed by a FUNdamentals of Climbing 1 workshop delivered by Neil Johnson. There was a great atmosphere and excellent turn-out for both events. Some of the young climbers are half my height but can reach holds that I can't - I suspect its something they do with their feet or some other tricky stuff.
