Hi Ali
I thoroughly enjoyed doing the assessment with you on Saturday. The assessment was tough but fair, and I feel it was a great opportunity to work out where I could still use some improvement.
I’m also grateful to you for treating the assessment as an opportunity to polish off our skills, rather than it just being an examination. In terms of the assessment day itself, I thought that it was very well structured. In particular, I like the fact that we did quite a mix of different things. Also I didn’t think it was a problem starting the day off by teaching a live class, as I was happy to get that part over and out of the way!
I’m happy to hear you enjoyed my presentation. Putting that together has got me really psyched to travel around the UK and visit some of these famous and stunning crags. I may well get in touch in the New Year once I have finished my job to get some multi pitch trad instruction. I’m also planning to book the Foundation Coach training in the New Year, as this is an area in which I could definitely improve my skills, and it would certainly also help with my personal climbing.
Thanks again for all your support.
Best wishes
Simon
