On this residential we looked at lead climbing, placing gear, multi pitch climbing and also setting up an anchor at the top of a lead. When lead climbing the first climber goes up the rock placing the gear and then clipping into this on the way up, at the top of the climb that person then sets up an anchor and belays the second climber up. When multi pitching you can make a stance at a place up the rock which u think is a good stance  and belay each other up before setting off again.

I really enjoyed this residential as i learnt new skills and it was my first attempt at lead climbing outdoors and also placing the right gear :)
