Single Pitch Award Training..

Dave Hollinger, Mal Creasey and myself have been out at Burbage North today to deliver Adventure Unlimited's Single Pitch Award (SPA) Training course.

The conditions were excellent with crisp grit and clear skies. We spent the day looking at personal climbing skills, belays, anchor selection, fixed abseils as well as the remit of the SPA scheme.

Following this we made a brief visit to The Edge Climbing Centre to look at the use of walls, bouldering and 'peer to peer' belaying techniques. The course is due to continue tomorrow, looking at essential group skills.
