Women's Climbing Symposium

We started the day with coffee and pastries and by signing up for workshops (footwork and awkward holds for me). The atmosphere was great! Friendly, excited, enthusiastic. I saw my dead friend S who I used to teach with in Newcastle. We worked really well together and have had great fun running classes and practising together. Since she was organising the day I didn't get to speak to her much but great seeing her nonetheless.

Coaching was taken by some top female elite climbers. Can't wait to get back on the wall to try out some of the things I've learnt. Already planning my next trip to Liverpool so I can climb with S and see more of her -hopefully J too.

Sore hands and fingers, covered in chalk, tired but happy, on the way home. What a great weekend!
