Potential Climbing ''tutor''?

[YoGi_93]

Ive been a groundsman for a while and have had a couple of opportunities to climb but im not exactly a natural. I seem to lack confidence in certain trees but not in others. I practise most weekends for an hour or two but climbing on my own doesn't really spur me on. So I thought to myself I could do with someone to teach me how to climb. Not an NPTC teacher for my CS38 but someone to teach me confidence in the tree. The climbers at work obviously help but doing it on company time has alot of time restrictions. If anyone around the Midlands is interested then please message me. I will pay obviously

thanks alot

Hi mate,

 

I have seen some chaps on here around your area so I'm sure someone will volunteer soon, i'm in Norfolk so a bit too far for a recreational climb!

 

I'm not sure if you have already done your 38 or not but if not then you'll be surprised what you learn, as long as you choose a good training centre - If you have passed then you just need some tree time to build confidence.

 

Don't get hung up in some trees are easy and some are not - that's life - and its not very often you'll actually work in a lovely tree with a million anchor points and horizontal lateral branches to go walking on! It all comes with time.

 

Good luck and remember if the rope is connected to a suitable branch and your attached to the rope you'll be fine - just crack on!

 

p.s. remember when climbing a second person is not just legislation but also a really good idea, I know its not always easy to find someone, especially if your just practicing but its sensible having someone close by to watch incase things go pete tong....

Hi mate going to take my cs 30 /31/38 39 later this year

if you would like some one to pair up with you for some practice at climbing which i enjoy, but have no one to go with im in the same boat as you and not live that far away westbromwich ,if you fancy some recreational climbing let me know

Confidence comes with time mate. Took me a while to get mine, I can remeber first starting and having shakey legs when was at top of just 30ft trees .You have the right frame of mind though as u are going out in your spare time and climbing. Wish I was closer to you as I would happily teach you some of the things I know for free and any other climber with spare time shouldnt charge u either in my eyes. What I did find which was encouraging ( if time at work ) is get one of the other climbers to climb up there next to you. For some reason when I was learning I found this helped me loads.
