A great day for climbing…
Helios ESU have just returned from a fantastic day’s rock climbing at Stanage Edge. This was to be the outdoor part of the climbing badge, but most people went beyond the requirements of the badge, ticking Velcro Arete (HS 4b) and Toggle (VS 4b). The most notable achievement of the day was Imran’s epic struggle up Mantelpiece Hand Traverse (HVS 4c)
In addition to the climbing, we also had a great picnic / sunbathing session, and Larry (our Lobster Mascot) made it most of the way up Mantlepiece Crack.
Special thanks go to our instructors Adam, Phil and John who gave up their opportunity to watch the England v Germany match to run the session. They have taped it though, so I’m sure when they watch it back they’ll be glad they went climbing…
