Loving the new finger board area! Thanks to Parthian for the change!

💪 Some folks have been asking what I do when I head to the wall for a training session! Here’s my routine! 🚀🔥

🏁 I kick things off with a warm-up (because no one wants to pull a muscle trying to ...impress—except maybe Hulk).
🎯 3 mins on the rowing machine—because who doesn’t love pretending they’re on a quest to beat the moon?
🕺 Dynamic movements for upper and lower body—warming up those joints so I don’t turn into a tin man.
🎈 Shoulder band work and shrugs
💥 Steve House killer core routine—2 to 3 rounds of pure sweat magic;
🧗‍♂️ Easy climbing on the auto-belays—10 mins of pretending I’m scaling Everest, minus the snow and altitude sickness.
🏋️ Max pull-ups with 40-45 kgs
🪜 Fingerboard session—7 on, 3 off, for 40 mins—because finger strength is the unsung hero of every climb on Portland
🏋️ Endurance or a weights session.

💥😅

Fabulous weather on Saturday. An early start on the weekend climbing in Swanage. And an early finish!

Ace to see some of the locals out and about.

Exploring user checks on croissants and some other stuff at centre parc Woburn yesterday.

Myself and the team were obviously well looked after for the day.

Well done to Katy, Elliot, Leanne, Tom and Garry for being a fun and fully engaging team to train with.

Had a dream team on an intro to sport lead climbing the other day.

Jim, Mark and Chris were taking their first steps to becoming independent sport climbers. Covered loads throughout the day and allowed some consultation and play time for climbing.

Amazing talking to them about ...their previous jobs- accident investigation for the aviation industry!

Awesome to have spent the day running an update for the climbing staff team at Cokethorpe School.

Covered loads as an update and refresh for the team:
Legal responsibilities
PPE user checks
Manufacturers instructions
Daily wall checks as part of the EN
Sops and ...session rituals
Emergency procedures
Final review of the days learning with an ideal shopping list!

🚨 Exciting Update from Go Ape Moors Valley! 🚨

Yesterday, Eddy was in the trees running rescue re-assessments, and we’re thrilled to announce everyone passed all three rescue scenarios! 🙌

✅ Ladder Rescue: Handling a fall from a vertical rope ladder
✅ Type ...a/Mid-Cross Rescue: Managing a situation from the middle of an obstacle crossing
✅ Type B Rescue: Instructor abseiling to assist someone stuck on a net

Big shoutout to Eddy for running these tests and ensuring our team stays safe and prepared! 👏

And a fun moment to share — Ollie treated Eddy to a well-earned sugar crash after devouring 1kg of ice cream during lunch! 🍦😂

Also, apologies to Will Smith for not getting a photo — next time, I promise! 😉

Safety, teamwork, and a bit of sweet indulgence make for an awesome day at Go Ape Moors Valley! 🌲🌟

🚀🌲 Exciting day at Avon Tyrrell! At the start of the week, Eddy Young was on fire running abseil and zip wire assessments for the awesome instructors. 💪🧗‍♂️

It was a whirlwind of laughter, nerves, and adrenaline as our team tackled those ropes with courage (and a few ...hilarious slips 😄). We’re proud to say everyone’s now certified to help YOU conquer those heights! 🧗‍♀️✨

Huge thanks to Eddy for his expert guidance and for keeping the energy high—who knew assessments could be this much fun? 😂👏
