SRT Practice

Going underground is all very well, but when you are testing new techniques out or refreshing your skills then doing it in a safer and more pleasant environment is very important. Surface practice in daylight is a very good way to get to grips with techniques.

It's better to get it wrong on the surface than underground. We practice our SRT and various techniques on the surface all the time at old quarries, off bridges, from natural cliff faces and indoors.

It's good fun and makes you realise what multitude of sins the darkness of mines cover up - it's different standing on the edge of a 75m cliff when you can see the bottom. Click on each link below for full details and pictures.
