In the month of June, I donated 3 Saturdays to the Boulder section of the CMC (Colorado Mountain Club). I volunteered as an assistant instructor for their summer Rock Leader School. There were two classroom sessions and three field trips.
There was a leader (Chris-not pictured), myself, and 4 students (Cary, David, Eric, and Ilene). These are pictures from our first field day, where students learned about rock climbing protection. Passive vs. Active, judging the strength of the protection placement, when to place, spacing of the placing, and anchor systems.
Chris is a very good instructor. The students were definitely in good hands! (more…)
