Andy and Sean took part in a performance coaching course and climbed at Marin, Toix, Gandia and Echo Valley. They worked on movement skills and  the processes of redpointing, including fall training. Sean completed his first lead on the course and progressed to leading F5+. Andy had previously led to F5+ and managed to improve his grade to F6b. During this week I was working for The Orange House.

Tom and Matt wanted an adrenaline-filled course before heading off to university. They enjoyed several days’ rock climbing at Sella and Toix, got some serious exposure on the Ponoch via ferrata, and had the biggest rush of all on a bridge jump in the Mascarat Gorge.
