0 Comments

 
On Friday the 17th 10 of our cadets when to Ratho, Edinburgh International Climbing Arena. This was the first time for the majority of the cadets in attendance so they were working towards their NICAS 1 award. The NISAS award scheme is there to develop climbing skills and to do this at all abilities. Some of the NICAS level 1 participants said "I really enjoyed the night and learnt some new skills of how to climb different types of walls, how belaying works and the different types of knots I need to use and how to tie them".- Cdt Lawrence. This is also similar for the NICAS 2 participants they consolidate this skills they have already learn't when they completed NICAS 1. At the end of the night the cadets also got to do some bouldering this is where you are climbing a relatively small wall that is really steep and quite hard to climb your are also not harnessed in like you normally are in climbing. This helps to improve your climbing as it shows you a different aspect of climbing and improves your skills and helps you for when your climbing the normal walls.
