In reply to Ahogg16:
I've been on a couple of climbing courses (winter and summer) and got my SPA. I have covered the basics of climbing and done some simple problem solving. I'm keen to learn self rescue type techniques but in a self instruction / practice format. If you are interested, I'd be up for one or two days with a good book, and a list of objectives, learning how to do stuff without an instructor, then refer to expert advise as required.
Let me know if you are interested.
All the best,
Khalid
