Blog: EMEC staff climbing day

EMEC staff and families were ‘shown the ropes’ of the new climbing wall at The Pickaquoy Centre on Saturday thanks to Orkney Climbing Club. Whilst perhaps a little daunting at first for those who hadn’t climbed before, it was a great afternoon learning climbing techniques and how to belay safely with everyone pushing themselves to improve.

Many thanks to Ian, Linda, and Donna from Orkney Climbing Club for their excellent instruction, and to EMEC’s Adele and Danielle for organising the activity.
