Recently, a Vertical Skills Training day was held at Sutherland Guide Hall, as our regular RockSchool location at Noorumba Guide Camp was too wet to access.
It was a very successful day with 18 participants, including 2 visitors from Armidale who joined us. We were mainly confined to indoor activities, but were still able to practice different types of setups, hauling systems, recovery hierarchy and even managed a practical demonstration of rope strength, slowly cutting through each strand of the static rope until it finally broke.
Thanks to everyone who attended for a very productive and informative day. There was even a half day field trip to Climbing Equipment by some attendees, so that they could check out and purchase some new gear.
