In reply to yorkshiresherpa: I've been climbing just under a year and was doing 6as in the first few months n then sometimes now fall off em!
And had real trouble with my confidence when belayling but I'm told that its improved massively.
I can understand if she's still a bit unsure about outdoors, it took me a lot longer than a few months to ever get used to it, sounds like she's doing really well.
Do you both go climbing with friends? I always feel like I'm not achieving enough because I'm the newby, maybe you can compare her achievments to some that have been doing it for longer n how well she's holding her own.
