A popular exercise at the workshop at the Big Rock wall at Milton Keynes today: Extreme clipping! A bouldering crux presented by difficult clip for short trail rope. Good fun!

The workshop was attended by 21 enthusiastic climbers. Some of these are still working towards the Climbing Wall Leading Award qualification themselves while most are already providers of the Climbing Wall Award. With input from Guy Jarvis (ABC/NICAS) Joby Davies (CWLA provider) Jon Garside (BMC/MLTE Technical Officer), Malcolm Creasey (MLTE guru) and myself delivering sessions it was an enjoyable gig that played to all our strenghts. Thanks are due to all the participants for their enthusiasm. When Malcolm and I set off for the taxi at 5.00 we left behind several participants still cranking their way up the wall.
