Learning to heel hook

Learning to heel hook

What a beautiful day at Calico Basin, land of poka dotted rocks. The Girly Guides set up a variety of climbs – jam cracks, chimneys, face climbing, over hangs and great heal hooking. It was like the poo-poo platter of rock climbing and the girls got a taste of a variety of difficulties and techniques. It was perfect.

Today offered the opportunity to really work the routes, watch and support each other, then try again. The gals got back on each route and really worked their new movement skills – it was great to see their improvement and increased body awareness.

After a full day everyone dispirsed for showers, beers and their computers. We met at BJ’s Brew Pub for a lively dinner. End of the day.
