Dear Tim, Just a quick note to say thanks again for a cracking couple of days. We both felt you structured it really well - the first day set firm foundations for newbie climbers like us, and then the second day was a revelation to get out onto real rock and see what you'd shown us the previous day fall into place. You had incredible patience on the static line next to us, with just the right balance of hints and instruction where necessary yet allowing us to work things out for ourselves. As a result, the next day we felt confident, nay raring, to go out there and climb on our own. As you know, we went back to Brown Slabs, and as well as the two routes we did with you, we did Brown Slabs Face at V Diff (which felt significantly harder than Brown Slabs Direct, I was extremely glad that I only seconded it!), and the right-hand start to the main gully route up the little slab to the right-hand tree and up into the start of the gully. Didn't do the Arete route, so that's for next time. We're both back in London now, but can't wait to get back onto the rock. Tim bought the Yorkshire Gritstone guidebook, so we'll have a go at all the Diffs and V Diffs we can find in it, and maybe top-rope a few of the 10-15m Severes and VS's. We'd also like to do a longer multipitch Diff or two (like Corvus which you mentioned) -- so plenty for us to experiment with before we're back for the next stage in our education!! All the best,
