Great Posts Martyn. You and I are certainly on the same page! Anytime you need me to return to the college in Whatever capacity get in touch.
-
Must be an amazing feeling to achieve a free climb or Solo of that magnitude.
-
I have many reasons for wanting to get into training but one is to help Martyn create a type of school of excellence....whittle out the cream. There is some great potential out there...I was influenced by some great climbers/arborists/tree surgeons from all around the world and had a couple of great teachers. I want to pass that on. If you remember Connor.Easily the most talented apprentice I have ever helped mould.He has gone from strength and lead climbing within a professional company.

A student at Risholme College I met,"Reggae-Reggae Ric" on here
-
I like to think I make a lasting impression:)
-
What a great day had by all.:) Thanks Martyn...students...and Risholme College. For my first day I feel we achieved a lot.

Had the red arrows flying overhead all day.

Top climb by Izzy:thumbup::thumbup:
-
It's always great to climb with students..it's good to see them progress up the tree..Their changeovers and show various limb walk techniques and work positioning.
-
I could do this job every day!
-
A great morning's climb....then off for lunch.
-
It was all very overwhelming for him once he got back down:cool:
-
Superb effort!
-
But another to get back.
-
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....
-
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.
-
For this moment...when you know they are proud of themselves! Well done Megatron! (the nickname her fellow students gave her)
-
That's why I love teaching...
-
Gaining confidence with every step.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Great tree here for practicing a swing.
-
Every kind of climbing tree here at Rusholme. ..Every tree is valid
