Rock Climbing and Abseiling, the start of the season...........

Today I worked for Active Highs delivering a rock climbing and abseiling session in the morning to a party of 14 who are in the area for a stag do. The group were from all over Scotland and there was a varying range of ages but all were up for a good laugh and to have some fun. The plan was to run the session as a simple as possible, while trying to involve the group with as many of the rope systems required. This worked well and was effective at moving all 14 guys through a harder bottom roped climb, an easier top rope set up and down an abseil line. There was also some hilarity with the groom to be being stripped down to some rather questionable boxer shorts and made to climb like so. After this some group members took the challenge of climbing blindfolded and one even abseiled while unable to see. All in all, a good fun session and a great start to the season.
