Climbing at the Barn in Tavistock |
The recent Sport Unlimited Climbing course at the Kitto Centre culminated in a visit to the Barn in Tavistock on Saturday 16th Jan. 10 girls from PHSG were joined by 7 students from JKCC for a day of climbing and bouldering at the Barn.
After an epic journey which seemed to take forever, we arrived at the Barn (which is literally a barn!!) and went inside to be amazed by the excellent facilities that surrounded us. Everyone got kitted up with harnesses and climbing shoes and set about the various challenges that James and Brendan set up. The bouldering area provided much entertainment and everyone succeeded in challenging themselves to an appropriate level (half scaring Mrs Goolden to death!). The ropes were a further challenge for the students to test out their belaying skills and everyone had the opportunity to try lots of routes of varying complexity. We all finished the day exhausted but satisfied with a good days climbing had by all.
I am eager to report that we have a few superstar climbers in the making and have photographic evidence to prove it!!
If you are interested in Climbing and would like to climb at the Kitto centre on a Monday from 4 - 5.30 then please see Mrs Goolden for a letter and consent form (cost is £2.00 per session). Many thanks.
