This meet is aimed at those taking their first steps into trad climbing techniques or those wishing to advance or refresh their skills in building effective, efficient and reproducible belay systems. We’ll also look at abseiling set-ups and multi-abseil techniques, multi-pitch belay systems and setting up top rope and bottom roping systems for beginners.
This is a chance to hone your belay set-ups and practice general mountain ropework skills.

I would like to humbly point out that frcc members are expected to be competent hill walkers , mountaineers or climbers when joining the club.
The intro to this meet would read far better with words 7 to 16 deleted.
I am all for learning new techniques and honing skills but hopefully members needing a transition course from sport to trad is not required.
