SUMMARY:TLIT Series Week Four -  Trad Climbing Skills
DESCRIPTION:&nbsp\;\nWhat is the TLIT Series?\nThe Trip Leader In Training 
 Series (TLIT) is a program that our club runs to upskill the next generati
 on of trip leaders. Over six workshops we will teach a range of technical 
 skills to bring club members one step closer to being one of our club trip
  leaders and helping to bring the amazing the sports we do to more people.
 \n\nMoreover\, while some workshops are sport specific (such as the sport 
 and trad workshops) we encourage members to attend all events as they teac
 h valuable skills you can use across disciplines.\n\nThe workshops will fo
 llow the general format of:\n-General Ropework\n-Abseiling and Canyoning\n
 -Lead Climbing\n-Trad Climbing\n-Hauling and Rescue\n-Behind the scenes as
  a TL\n-Rescue Scenario Day\n\n&nbsp\;\nWho is the TLIT Series for?\nThese
