Not the best of starts

[sawyl]

Took GB bouldering this evening. He's done it before and he's signed off to boulder, but I hadn't realised (a) quite how rusty he was; or (b) that he had signed up last week without trying any of the problems. Consequently, I felt a bit bad cajoling him into trying things that even I found tricky: the first three problems are relatively easy — although even they are deceptive! — with everything beyond that point requiring a moderately serious investment in effort.

I just hope the experience hasn't put him off completely...
