Yass! 👊 A beautifully sunny 🌞 day, an awesome session rock climbing and abseiling 💪🧗♂️ at Auchinstarry Quarry with Jenny & John... 😀
Both Jenny and John had only tried indoor climbing once or twice and they both wanted to get a feel for rock climbing. ✅️ The nerves 😬 showed at first, but once the first route was sent and the first abseil was over. ✅️ The nerves settled and they both relaxed and enjoyed the session. ✅️💪🧗♂️
We covered the basics of how to second for a lead climber on trad, abseiling with myself backing everything up. ✅️ Both Jenny & John topped-out Access Route Diff***, Anarchist VD and Tar S. ✅️ A good haul of routes and finished off with a well earned ice cream 🍦! ✅️💪🧗♂️😀

Going back to May again and a quick hit 👊 at one of my favourite crags in the Central Belt region of Scotland, Limekilns with returning client Ellis Evans. 🧗♂️😀
These limestone blocks are set in pleasant woodland and provide some excellent climbing on superb rock. ✅️ The aim of this session was to get Ellis seconding on harder routes, and to take Ellis through the skills required to abseil safely. ✅️ Abseiling is often the safest way to descend from Limekilns. ✅️🧗♂️😀
We bagged a good haul of routes before the afternoon monsoon ⛈️ came on, including: Red Flag VS 4c*, Two Ringer VS 4c, One Ringer VS 4c, White Ensign VS 4c** and finished with DT's VS 4c**. 👊 Awesome climbing! 💪🧗♂️😀✅️

Another throwback to early May and a day of many firsts with returning client Ellis and at the time RCI trainee Mary Scott. 😀
I have been working with Ellis for sometime now, and this was the day Ellis lead her first sport route on-sight! 💪🧗♂️✅️ We started by using a pre-rigged sling to improvise using a Petzl Connect Adjust to safely thread a lower off at ground level. ✅️ Practiced clipping into quickdraws. ✅️ Then straight into it! 👊💪 Lots of climbing and an on-sight send of every route on The Padlock Boulder! 👊💪🧗♂️✅️
Mary Scott at the time was working towards her Rock Climbing Instructor award and wanted to strengthen her knowledge of sport climbing and to add more variety to her logbook in preparation for her upcoming assessment. ✅️ At first the nerves showed, 😬 sport climbing is not Marys strong point. 😬 But with lots of support from myself and Ellis. ✅️💪 Mary went onto make an on-sight send of every route on The Padlock Boulder as well! 👊💪🧗♂️✅️
For myself, my first visit to The Padlock, its a well bolted crag, good variety of routes and grades with a very pleasant outlook! ✅️😀
Sport climbing is a very good way to make the transition from indoor climbing to climbing outdoors. ✅️ If you would like to take your indoor skills outdoors❓️ Drop us a message here on Facebook or WhatsApp 07969 847338 for further information‼️

A quick 🏃♂️ jaunt with Mary Scott to Loudon Hill, a crag I have not visited in many years. 😀
The plan was to do a couple of warm up climbs and then attempt one of the crag classics, The Edge VS***. 💪🧗♂️😀
The plan was soon scuppered, 🤦 when I realised the upper section of the crag was fully exposed to the strong winds 💨 blowing on this day and to make matters worse we encountered a few fleeting showers 🌦 making the lichenous rock slippery. 🤦🙄
In the end we topped-out Pulpit Arete S 4a*** and Conclusion Wall HS 4b*, before calling it quits for the day. 👍🏻🧗♂️😀
Hopefully next time we'll have better luck with the weather! 😀

Yass! 😀 More climbing and abseiling shenanigans at Auchinstarry Quarry with Ming a TCA regular. 👍🏻 Ming is a strong 💪 indoor boulderer, but has never tried rock climbing outside on real rock and has no rock climbing experience until now. 😀
Starting off with Access Route D***, the classic beginners route of Starry. Focusing on the basics. ✅️ How to flake a rope and where to flake it in relation to where you would be belaying from. ✅️ Tying in with a suitable knot. ✅️ How to set up the belay device, belay for a lead climber and how to hold a fall. ✅️ Next up was using a nut key to remove protection and rack it on your harness. ✅️ Job done! 👍🏻💪🧗♂️😀
We moved on to Anarchist VD, followed by Tar S, gradually building up the skills required to second on trad. ✅️ Once we had gone through all of this we moved on to Scream S 4b a good route, followed by Mister, Ye Can Walk up Roon the Back S. ✅️ All in all, a good haul of routes for someone that has never climbed on rock before! 👍🏻💪🧗♂️😀
Descent from all routes was to abseil, at first I set Ming up on what's known as a stacked abseil with myself at the bottom controlling Ming's descent. ✅️ Once Ming got the hang of things we changed this to self-protected abseiling, with Ming fully in control of her descent. ✅️💪🧗♂️😀
Another totally awesome session! 😀 If you would like to experience rock climbing & abseiling, drop us a message here on Facebook or WhatsApp 07969 847338 for further information! 👍🏻😀

Another throwback to a sunny 🌞 day in May and a day of much hilarity 😂 at Creag Na H-Eighe with Mary Scott and returning clients Ellis & Zoe. 😀
Both Ellis & Zoe were complete novices when they first came to Aspect Mountaineering 🤷♂️, Ellis wanted to experience rock climbing and after the first session way back in January Ellis became hooked on climbing. 💪🧗♂️ Zoe on the other hand wanted to gain confidence on the rock and in the ropes for an upcoming trip abroad. 💪🧗♂️ Both Ellis & Zoe are now confident climbers. 💪🧗♂️😀
The focus of this day was to put into practice all the skills that Ellis & Zoe have been learning at Neilston Quarry and Auchinstarry Quarry over the winter months. ✅️ How to flake a rope and where to flake the rope in relation to where you would belay from. ✅️ How to set up the belay device, belay for a lead climber on trad and how to hold a lead fall. ✅️ How to remove the protection with the aid of a nut key and how to rack it on your harness. ✅️💪🧗♂️😀
They both smashed 👊💪 it and topped-out a good haul of routes, including: Heather Wall HS 4c**, Hop, Skip and Jump VD, Wee Arete VS 4c, Woodworm VD*, Jaggy Bunnets S 4a**, Night Owl VS 4c, Raptor's Direct VS 4c* and Aline's Route S 4a**! 👊💪🧗♂️😀

A very sunny 🌞 Auchinstarry Quarry yesterday, with long-term client Kathy. It has been a while since Kathy has been out rock climbing, due to caring for a family member.
We went through the basics of seconding for a lead climber on trad ✅️, followed by lots of climbing 🧗♂️✅️ and abseiling 🧗♂️✅️ to get Kathy back into the swing things. ✅️💪🧗♂️😀
Routes topped-out included: Mister, Ye Can Walk up Roon the Back S, Scream S 4b, Anarchist VD, Tar S and a very dirty Slinky Lizard HS 4b*. 💪🧗♂️😀

Aspect Mountaineering is just back from a super fun afternoon climbing at Neilston Quarry with this duo, Agnes & Karina. 😀 Both Agnes & Karina have never tried rock climbing before, but they have hillwalking & scrambling experience and Karina has a fear heights. 🫣
The focus of this session was to make it fun and introduce new skills gradually. 😀 We started off with tying in, flaking ropes and setting up the belay devices. ✅️ Next up was, how to belay for a lead climber and how to hold a fall. ✅️ We moved on to how to remove protection and rack it on your harness. ✅️ Then climbing/abseiling time, the fun part! ✅️💪🧗♂️😀
Karina got off to a shaky start, its a lot to take in, especially if you have a fear of heights! 😬 Agnes found removing the gear difficult. 😬 The first route is always difficult, a little wobbly, its a new experience afterall. 🙃 Lots of new things to take in and try. 🙃 Where to stand, what can I stand on, where are the handholds and how to do you get into the right position to maintain balance whilst trying to remove the protection. 🤔
Once we got the first route and abseil of the afternoon out of the way, both Agnes and Karina started to relax, enjoy the experience and topped-out a good haul of routes including: VDiff Corner, Crack Corner VD*, Intrusion Line VD, Stephen Slab HS* and finished with the crag classic Willie's Route. Awesome climbing! 💪💪💪🧗♂️😀

Yesterday, Aspect Mountaineering enjoyed a very sunny 🌞 afternoon at Neilston Quarry with sisters Emily, 8 and Lexi, 12. 😀 They tried rock climbing whilst on holiday, they both really enjoyed it and were super keen to try it again. 💪🧗♂️😀
Instead of using rigged bottom ropes we went on a mini climbing 🧗♂️ expedition at my local crag Neilston Quarry. 💪😀
Lexi learned how to tie herself in, set up the belay device, how to belay for a lead climber and how to remove protection and rack it on her harness. ✅️ Emily learned how to tie a figure of eight and renamed cams, "Pogo Cams". ✅️ A brilliant description! 👍🏻😂
Both Emily & Lexi topped out VDiff Corner, Crack Corner VD*, Intrusion Line VD, Strawberry Crack S** and Stephen Slab HS*! ✅️🧗♂️😀 Totally awesome climbing! 💪💪💪

Earlier this year during a very chilly January 🥶, Zoe joined me for an introduction to rock climbing 🧗♂️ as Zoe wanted to see what was involved with rock climbing in preparation for an upcoming trip to Greece. 💪😀
In February Zoe returned and this time I introduced Zoe to the skills required to second for a lead climber on trad at my local crag Neilston Quarry. 💪🧗♂️😀
We looked at flaking the rope and where to flake the rope in relation to where you would belay from. ✅️ How to tie in, set up the belay device, where to clip the belay device to and how to belay for a lead climber. ✅️ We then moved onto removing the protection with a nut key and how to rack it your harness. ✅️ All essential skills if you want to second on trad. 💪🧗♂️😀
Then it was climbing time! 🧗♂️😀 Starting with VDiff Corner, Crack Corner VD* and finishing with Intrusion Line VD. 😀 A nice little haul of climbs with Zoe growing in confidence with every climb completed! 💪🧗♂️😀
If you are preparing for a scrambling trip, perhaps Curved Ridge or the Inn Pinn on Skye? ❓️ Rock climbing can significantly improve your confidence. ✅️ Contact us for availability here on Facebook or WhatsApp 07969 847338 for further information. 💪🧗♂️😀

Another throwback to a chilly 🥶 April earlier this year, and the first of my group sessions. 👍🏻🧗♂️😀
This session was for a group of friends that wanted a fun 😀 day, trying something they had never tried before outside. The group opted for a bouldering/climbing session at Bennybeg. 👍🏻💪🧗♂️😀
We started the session with fun games, a classic round of "Tig"... 😀 Yes, adults are allowed to embrace their inner child... Moving onto "Tunnel Tig"... 😀 A great warm-up game and a super amount of fun! 👍🏻😀
Next up was the "Rock, Paper, Scissor" game on the bouldering wall at Bennybeg...😀 The game involves dividing the group into two small teams. One team at either-side of the wall. Each team member takes it in turn to traverse the wall, when they meet, they play "Rock 👊, Paper 🫸, Scissor ✌️, Shoot 👆"! The loser ☹️ then drops of the wall and the winner 😀 continues until they encounter the next opposing team member. 👍🏻💪😀 The winning team is decided by whoever moves the rope rope protector to the opposite teams starting point. Lets just say, things got a little competitive...! 👍🏻💪😀
Following on from the warm up games and bouldering we started the climbing. 💪🧗♂️😀 We rigged a selection of routes on Sector 1 of Bennybeg for the group to try including: Route 2 4+*, Bill and Benny the Flower Pot Men 3**, Bennydorm 5* and Bennydorm 5*. 🧗♂️😀 For those that wanted a bigger/higher challenge we set up a rope on Sector 2 the higher of the walls at Bennybeg. 💪🧗♂️😀 The entire group smashed them! 💪💪💪🧗♂️😀
It was a super fun day with a super fun group! 😀 If this is something you would like to try with a group of friends. Get in touch here on Facebook or 07969 847338 for more information! 😀💪🧗♂️ Aspect Mountaineering provides all equipment needed to enjoy a super fun day climbing.

A throwback to my first session this year at a very chilly 🥶 Neilston Quarry early January with Ellis & Zoe, both members of Women Climb Scotland. 💪😀
Ellis had tried a little indoor climbing before and just wanted to check out rock climbing, see what was involved. 👍🏻 Zoe on the other hand wanted to gain experience of and become confident with being on a rope in preparation of an upcoming trip to Greece. 👍🏻😀
We climbed three routes, Crack Corner VD* 💪, Intrusion Line VD 💪 and finished with the crag classic Willie's Route S** 💪. We finished with a practice abseil and then abseiled off the crag to finish the day! 👍🏻💪🧗♂️😀
As always great to have Mary Scott along... (More on this we Legend to follow)! 😀

Result!!! ✅️👍🏻💪🧗♂️😀
I've been very quiet on social media this year for a very good reason. I have been working towards my Rock Climbing Development Instructor award. 🧗♂️😀
It has been an interesting journey with many ups and downs. 🤦🤷♂️
Earlier this year I injured myself bouldering, I dislocated my left shoulder backwards and then forwards trapping some of the muscle behind the joint. 🤦 This has been putting pressure on the nerves and has left me with a numb/tingling feeling down the left side of my body, especially my left hand. As with all shoulder injuries it is important to keep it moving to prevent further damage and to prevent further loss of range of movement. I'm not going to lie, it has been a painful injury to overcome with many sleepless nights. ✅️👍🏻💪🧗♂️😀
One of my main focusses in preparing for this assessment has been to change the way I climb and to adapt my climbing to overcome the limited range of movement in my left shoulder. It has been a challenging process, but fun at the same time. 🧗♂️😀
I've been spending a lot of time coaching, trying new ways of coaching, trying different systems. Parallel, series and an awful lot of time self-lining. Practising different methods of abseiling and setting up abseils. The dreaded problem solving element. Going back to the basics. Experimenting with different prusiks. It has been an interesting process and thoroughly enjoyable at the same time. 🧑💻🧗♂️👍🏻😀
I got the result I wanted, my hard work came together and I successfully passed my assessment! ✅️👍🏻💪🧗♂️😀
I would like to give Alan Halewood of Climb When Youre Ready a massive thank you for creating such a positive environment for the assessment, the feedback was excellent and the added "hints n' tips" will be added to the "tool box"! 👍🏻✅️😀 Another thank you goes to Scott Kirkhope of Kirkhope Mountaineering, for his valuable input and feedback. 👍🏻✅️😀
Last but not least, a huge thank you goes to Mary Scott the founder of Women Climb Scotland, for being kind enough to help source students so the assessment could go a head and to the students that attended the assessment. 👍🏻✅️😀
