Sea Cliff Climbing: Start Safely

[@robsmith9042]

As much as this all makes sense, one of my best climbing experiences was abbing in to a tidal sea cliff and pulling the rope then realising we were on a different bit of cliff and had taken a photo on our phones of the wrong page of the guidebook. Ended up climbing a 2 star route that felt like a 5 star experience 😂

I've forgotten what the exact phrase is, but it's something to the effect of "good decisions are made through experience, but experience is gained through bad decisions". Suffice to say your experience sounds quite memorable!!

Everybody loves an epic, its what the best stories are made from. 🤙😊

[@ukclimbingofficial]

@@themountaineeringcompany maybe we should have filmed "how to have an epic" as an extra episode 😅

@3:45 No prussik as back-up when abseiling is setting a very bad example!

[@ukclimbingofficial]

Hi raartsen, he has a prussik underneath his left hand. We'll be covering abseiling - and the use of a prussik - within a separate video.

And if even if he didn't, there still might be someone at the bottom giving a fireman belay...
