Tony Penning and Ali Taylor beating the Gloucestershire Floods

Do you remember the Gloucestershire floods of 2007?

During the summer of 2007 parts of Gloucestershire were badly affected by flooding.  Worst affected was Tony Penning’s hometown of Tewkesbury.

Undeterred by the rising water Tony and Ali demonstrated Monsterclimbs rope skills by setting up a traverse to get in and out of their home.

Although slightly light hearted in presentation the actual manoeuvre required considerable skill in setting up and is an excellent demonstration of the Monsterclimbs experience and knowledge gained through decades of rock climbing.
