Today we headed to Lower Scout in Langdale.
We started with movement skills and body positioning on the lower boulders. Next we placed 'nuts and 'cams and built a belay. Then L used the retrievable abseil technique we practiced yesterday (with a prussick for safety) to abseil down a route, stopping to place gear and extenders.
I then abseiled down, checking the gear and advising on positioning before L led the route on the gear they'd pre-placed.
So from starting with a 'Diff' on Monday L is now leading Severe + and self-protecting on abseil.
A fast learner (forgot my camera again!)
