  • learn how to use the end of the rope for extending from belay points, this skill will be especially useful when you have to find anchors back from the edge.

    Not quite sure what you mean by this, lent my intro to climbing book to someone a while ago and not got it back, sure it's in there and sure I've probably done something similar in work but can't quite visualize it at the moment.

    Got 7mm Beal cord on the reel at work so will knock up some spare prussiks to keep with the rock kit.
    Got a toothbrush with my new chalkbag, will cord it up. Hadn't thought about getting a nut key as assumed they were only used for trad climbing, how is it useful for sport stuff? Will get a bar towel too, shame, I used to have a few knocking around.
    Quite excited about having a complete basic kit ready for spring. Liz is keen to learn outside too so will have someone to climb with once I've learnt how to set tings up outside.
    Your advice is much appreciated Rive, ta.
