We had a fantastic day with Ben

We had a fantastic day with Ben. He helped us navigate the transition from indoor to outdoor bouldering, and learned to trust our shoes not to slip. He selected appropriate problems for our level and we felt like we were making progress throughout the day. He created a relaxed atmosphere from the start where we felt able to ask questions and fail without judgement. He was a genuinely lovely guy, and we wish him all the very best with the seemingly endless list of things he plans to do in the future!

Thanks for the kind words Ollie, see you at the crag!
