In Desperate times...My Silky saves the day!

That's some facial enhancement going on lad, good work :thumbup:

Something so affirming taking someone who doesn't think they can do something to the point they know they can do it, looks some nice trees too.

Yeah Mr Git...There are students like this lad who zipped up the tree...installed then zipped down and along the limb within a couple of Minutes.

Then there was Meg who was sure she couldn't leave the comfort Zone of the trunk...and when I asked her did she want to do her first limb walk,she answered yes then it was my job to guide her there.

It is a wonderful moment when you see a new climber who is convinced they cannot get even a few feet along stand up and shift their momentum from the trunk into the unknown of a long steep lateral.

[silky fox]

Gaining confidence with every step.

[silky fox]

That's why I love teaching...

[silky fox]

For this moment...when you know they are proud of themselves! Well done Megatron! (the nickname her fellow students gave her)

[silky fox]

Star of the show..This chap (remind me of his name martyn...I had to learn about 20 that day) he didn't think he'd make it to the top....He did it.

[silky fox]

And he really didn't think he'd make his first long limb walk....He made it...but of course it's one thing to get out there....

[silky fox]

But another to get back.
