Mai and Suresh were up in Edinburgh for the weekend and fancied an half day introduction to rock climbing today. To maximise climbing time we headed for Blackford Quarry in Edinburgh.
They took to climbing on rock well and we managed a number of bottom ropes on the main west facing wall, whilst learning to tie-in and belay, before they seconded me on Komik Kuts and the Quarry Pinnacle. We finished the day with a stacked abseil on the main wall and headed back to the car just as the rain began to fall in earnest.
