In reply to Thelittlesthobo:
Hi, we climb in Nottingham and of course now in Derbyshire too!
I'm not sure what my daughter will end up preferring but suspect it'll be outdoors as she's happier outside as a person and not competitive with her climbing. She seemed to come into her own on the harder climb of the day, thinking her way up and inventing her own plans. I'm sure her confidence was boosted by being treated as a climber not patronised as a small child.
For me, I know I'm an outdoor person. I worked year round 70 hr weeks outside. I'm less sure of being ballsy enough but I've got a real chance now so am taking it.
I couldn't have invented a better scenario or a safer platform to give progressing a real bash!
