Lovely to get out on the rock after the Association of Mountaineering Instructors CPD day on Portland! 🧗‍♂️☀️

After a day of sharing knowledge, discussing good practice and learning from others in the industry, it was great to get outside and enjoy some climbing.

One of the best things about these CPD days is the opportunity to connect with fellow instructors, exchange ideas and, of course, enjoy a bit of climbing together!

Great company, good conversations and plenty of positive vibes all round.

Lovely to spend the day with Mark and his team at Argoed Lwyd Outdoor Education Centre in South Wales, completing their latest Technical Advisor Health Check.
One of the most valuable parts of returning each year is seeing the progress that’s been made since the previous visit.
A big well done to Mark and the team for completing the actions identified during their 2025 health check and continuing to develop their systems and practice. 👏
Technical Advisor support isn’t just about identifying actions. It’s about following them through, supporting continuous improvement and making sure good practice becomes part of the everyday operation.
Great work from the whole team and a really positive day in South Wales! 🧗‍♂️ @argoedoutdoor

A week of rescue reassessments with the Go Ape teams 🌲🧗‍♂️

First up was Go Ape Southampton at Itchen Valley, where the team demonstrated the rescue skills they work hard to keep current. These guys practise their rescues every two weeks, alongside a ground based reassessment every quarter, and that commitment really shows.

Then it was over to Go Ape Moors Valley and the Dream Team. Plenty of entertainment and humour as always, but when it came down to the assessments, they were professional, slick and confident in demonstrating their skills.
Two different teams, two great days and a really high standard of rescue skills across the board.

Well done to everyone involved! 👏

Well done to Dave for completing a brilliant adventure day of sport climbing on Portland! 🧗‍♂️🌊

The day was all about taking those next steps towards becoming a more independent climber, developing skills, building confidence and putting them into practice on real rock.

And, of course, being on Portland meant we couldn’t miss the opportunity for some proper sea cliff adventures along the way!

A great day out and some fantastic progress from Dave. Well done 👏

Had the pleasure of a few adventures over in Croatia the other week 🇭🇷🧗‍♂️

And came across this little surprise waiting at the top of a cliff… 👀

A good reminder that anchors and equipment exposed to the elements can deteriorate in ways that aren’t always immediately obvious. UV exposure in particular can have a significant effect on textile materials over time.

Just because something is already there doesn’t automatically mean it’s suitable to trust.

Always check your anchors, consider their condition and history, and if in doubt, don’t use them.

A slightly different kind of holiday sightseeing! 😂

Another Technical Advisor check in completed last week, this time at Buddens Activity Centre in Dorset, run by Rockley.

As part of my role as Technical Advisor, an annual visit is an important opportunity to look at how things are working in practice, not just what’s written down on paper.

The day covered:

📋 Risk assessments
✅ Safe methods of work
👀 Session observations
🧗 PPE compliance with LOLER

These annual check ins provide an opportunity to review current systems, observe delivery and work alongside the team to support continued good practice and safe, effective sessions. @buddensactivitycentre

Great to spend the day with the team at Buddens and see the operation in action. 👏

Another really valuable conversation from the ABC Conference was with Nick from the Association of British Climbing Walls, looking at their accident recording data and what we can learn from it.

We had a fascinating discussion around accident statistics and the potential to compare climbing wall data with that from other leading sports industries across the UK.

We also spent time discussing the types of injuries being recorded on bouldering walls, which raised some really interesting points around trends, learning and how data can help inform good practice across the industry.

Hopefully we’ll see more information coming out on this soon and, ideally, see that knowledge made accessible to the wider climbing community, not just ABC members.

The more quality data we can share and learn from as an industry, the better informed our conversations around risk management and accident prevention can become.

Last week I had the pleasure of attending the Association of British Climbing Walls Conference 🧗‍♂️

A really valuable day and a great opportunity to catch up with some familiar faces, meet plenty of new ones and spend some time exploring the different stands and chatting with others from across the industry.

One of the highlights for me was the session focused on Technical Advisors. There were some great conversations around the role, shared experiences and plenty of knowledge being passed around the room.

A special shout out to Dan for sharing his knowledge around matting and inspections. Lots to take away and think about.

There are also some interesting developments ahead for the industry, including work towards a new EN standard for climbing walls. 👀

Always good to step away from the day to day work, keep learning and spend time with others who are equally passionate about developing good practice within our industry.

Great to be working with Vertex Instructor Training again, this time down at the Royal Navy Officer Training site in Dartmouth.

The day was spent getting up close and personal with plenty of PPE, completing the scheduled six monthly thorough inspections. 🔍

It’s detailed work, checking each item carefully for condition, wear, damage and anything that could affect its continued safe use.

Always good to be back working with the Vertex team and supporting another professional operation behind the scenes. @vertexinstructortraining
