Climb at normal pace Make sure the person under you is doing it right. Put chalk on you hands. Check the harnesses before you go up. Drink lots of water. Make sure you are wearing a helmet. Go as high as you think you can. Take your time make sure you dont get tided up. Make sure you are wearing the right suitable clothes. So if you fall the Belayer would pull you down. Tell your friends not to encourage each other because it would put you off. Make conversation with the instructor so you have someone to talk to. Sebastian Noad (Manager) Next time we go
