点评:I was really looking forward to spending a day outdoor with other women who share the same enthusiasm for climbing. The week leading to the weekend was not the best with the weather /storm and thought this opportunity would not happen…but an email from Melissa prior to the day showed some confidence that the day would clear up and we should go ahead with it…and she was right, after a windy/drizzled morning, the sun came out on beautiful Bonehill Rock and the afternoon went smoothly with a few climbs. Melissa is an experienced climber and she is passionate, encouraging and knowledgeable, after the first 15mns meeting her, I knew we were in good hands and I liked her strong-minded attitude regarding the weather, Trojan!! The day was chilled out and Melissa structure of her day/coaching was well laid out, starting with presentation of guide books and how to read them, then going around the site with the guide book to do some spotting and guiding us on how to observe routes on the boulder. We started with a little traverse and we discussed how to lay out mats and also discuss safety issues then moving on to more advanced climbs as Melissa assessed our level of confidence. Overall, I had a brilliant day and want to have more outdoor experiences though being an experienced indoor climber and been brought up near Fontainebleau, the Dartmoor /South West offer outstanding landscape.
Merci Melissa and hopefully will have the opportunity to climb with you again.

谢谢梅丽莎,希望有机会再次与您一起攀登。
