    🏔️✨ Yesterday was a day of high climbs and even higher spirits as I had a huge amount of fun delivering a Mountain Training Climbing Wall Instructor Course at Calshot Climbing Wall in Hampshire! 🧗‍♂️🚀

    We covered all the essentials — from PPE and belaying skills to ...teaching styles and movement techniques. Basically, if you want to safely teach others how to climb like a mountain goat (joke if you are in the know), this course is the way to go! 😄

    Big thanks to all the candidates for sharing there expertise, knowledge and a few climbing puns that definitely weren't *falling* flat. 🙃

    And guess what? We have 2026 dates available — you’ve got plenty of time to plan your ascent into becoming a certified climbing instructor. 🗓️

    Yesterday morning I ran a networking morning for all my customers at Avon Terrell.  This is the third year that I've run this event with another successful turn out with over 35 people from different organisations across the South of the UK.

    I can really see the value of learning ...from each other's businesses to create a safer outdoor industry, to promote and build on relationships within the industry. It was awesome to see even Avon Tyrrell’s accessible zip wire and auto belay rescue system.  A massive shout out for Avon Tyrrell  for being so open with all the other providers.

    The structure of the morning:

    A group welcome by Eddy and introductions

    15 Mins conversation from Steve Woods: Collective knowledge project

    Client experience of their safe roller course with a social experience to network with other outdoor businesses.

    Demonstration of Avon Tyrrell’s example of their accessible zip wire hoist and an auto belay session.

    An opportunity to ask the Avon Tyrrell’s manager about their processes

    The outcomes:

    Bringing local contacts together and to strengthen existing relationships  

    An opportunity to see how a different national activity provider runs a session

    Two to three specific learning points that you could use to either newly implement or improve what you already do at your own site

    Better local support/ knowledge for those organisations by bringing together likeminded businesses and people together

    Some of the questions that we covered during the morning:

    Do Avon Tyrell have any external additional needs training they roll out to all staff? As standard or in-house trainers?

    What frequency do they run refresher training for those staff who are rescue training?

    What is the structure of the refresher and does this include how to deal with medical issues?

    What is their reporting process for accidents / incidents? 

    The EN for high rope states: must have signed stating no unauthorised access? Is this correct?

    Do nets courses fall under the EN?

    What systems do Avon Tyrell use to demonstrate staff competencies for their staff that do pass out / sign off approval for other staff?

    Been rather quiet over the past 5 weeks on social media.

    Back on it now. Today I had an absolute blast with the team @vertexinstructortraining at centre parks running through their new activity for future assessments.

    Lovely to have caught up with 8 trainers and share ideas on ...assessment standards and protocols. This gives us the opportunity to standardised the assessments to ensure the same experience for everyone receiving an off ground assessment.

    Also some general chit chat with a dash of humour to get through the environmental factors. Thoroughly enjoyed the day and thanks for vertex for organising day.

    Huge shout — and a massive congrats —
    Last week I had the pleasure of delivering the FINAL 2025 Rescue Re-Assessments at Go Ape Moors Valley!

    🎉 Even better: everyone PASSED. 👏 Go Ape’s rescue standards are seriously high, and we made sure they met them with flying colours....

    Special shout-out to the brilliant crew who smashed it: Jackson, Dan, Ruby, Jake, Katie, Chris — and the one, the only, the real Will Smith (yes, we checked the autograph). 😉 Thanks to all of you for your commitment, skill, and for keeping our customers safe and smiling up in the trees. Here’s to a safe, epic winter season ahead! 🌲🧗‍♂️💪

    🏞️🧗‍♂️ Exciting News from Dorset! 🧗‍♀️🏞️

    Over the weekend I have the total pleasure of delivering an action-packed rock climbing advanced self-rescue course for Jim, Simon, Ben, and Trent – and let’s just say, these guys are now more confident, competent, ...and ready to rescue themselves (and maybe their mates!) when the chips are down.

    Topics covered included:

    Belaying the second from the top (gold standard)

    Tying off belay devices under full load

    Different types and uses of prusiks

    Assisted hoists

    Escaping the system (in reach)

    Creating a chest harness, slippery hitch, alpine clutch

    Descending ropes safely

    Ascending a rope safely

    Descending past knots

    Abseiling with an injured climber

    Using an Italian hitch

    Escaping the system (out of reach)

    Lowering past a knot

    Hoisting out of the system

    Tactics to retrieve a stuck abseil rope

    Stuck second/lead on a traverse over water

    Advanced hoisting systems

    Counter-balance abseil

    Humour alert: We even learned how to pretend we’re calm when hanging from a cliff—because nobody wants to scream like a banshee when lifting someone up! Very high levels of humour were seen at dancing ledge over the weekend!

    Big shoutout to Jim, Simon, Ben, and Trent for their enthusiasm and bravery. Who knows, next time it might be YOU rescuing your mate… or at least trying to look confident while dangling!

    Keep climbing, stay safe, and remember: self-rescue skills aren’t just cool—they're essential! 💪🧗‍♂️

    🚨 Huge News from Go Ape Southampton! 🚨

    I am thrilled to announce that the FINAL 2025 rescue assessments are COMPLETE! 🎉 A massive shoutout to our incredible team: Morgan, Ella, Miguel, Paul, and Kayleigh — YOU all nailed it! 👏🙌

    At Go Ape, they set the bar high ...(almost as high as their treetop courses), and our standards are no joke. They have an impressively low rescue rate thanks to their relentless focus on top-notch training and the twice-weekly ground-based peer practice sessions. Because safety, fun, and a little bit of adrenaline are what they do best! 🧗‍♂️🌲

    Remember, some of its about the training, practice, and keeping those rescue stories to a minimum! 😉

    Here’s to many more safe, fun, and maybe slightly less dramatic adventures ahead! 🚀🎉

    🌟 What an incredible day in Swanage, Dorset with Anna and Peter (78 years young!)! 🌟

    I had the pleasure of taking these two out for their FIRST time climbing outside, and honestly, they were nothing short of amazing! 💪🧗‍♂️🧗‍♀️ We covered everything from ...re-capping on those crucial attention-to-details, knots (trust me, you want those to hold!), belaying like pros, and the importance of thorough buddy checks — no skimping on safety here! 🚧🔗

    Plus, we delved into some slick movement techniques that would make even the most seasoned climbers proud. And let me tell you, their enthusiasm and good humour made the day even more special 😂

    Anna and Peter, you crushed it out there! Remember, the mountains are calling (and they probably want your jokes). 🏔️✨
