Indoor climbing

One of the things that I have been doing up to now is taking the girls to The Climbing Station in Loughborough. It is a nice indoor bouldering and climbing wall. I like it because the low walls and crash mats allow for easy traversing as well as sending. It gives the girls the opportunity to climb around on any holds they like without ever getting higher than they want to be. Only one of the walls slopes back, but it has some nice easy holds at the bottom of it. 
Today it was the time for Ev to climb. It was good to see her trying different holds. Its all too easy as an adult to instruct children towards the good holds, but this takes away that self discovery and evaluation of holds. She didn't get too far but she had a good go.
