Monitor of Experience in Rock Climbing To be able to perform at a level which is suitable for me to gain
employment in the world of outdoor pursuits, one of my mid-term goals,
it is vital that I am able to monitor my own progress in order to
critically evaluate my levels of fitness, skill and knowledge in
certain aspects of the industry. In this case rock climbing. In order
for me to progress I must monitor my current levels and be able to
produce a programme which will allow me to push these levels to a
higher standard, motivating myself as I do so by working at a standard
that allows me to remain focused and set on my chosen goal.
Prior Experience
Although I entered into outdoor education with no prior experience, as
soon as I heard that I was going to be climbing as a major part of my
course and would be required to do so as a large part of my chosen
career I wasted no time in researching the sport. Having tutors with a
large knowledge base for the subject I made notes in their lessons
highlighting key words, which I later researched further in books or
on the internet, a tool with which I have a wide experience of working
with from my previous career and something which I have recently used
to acquire a wider knowledge base in relation to climbing. I attended
and continue to attend all practical sessions in order to gain
first-hand experience of the sport under expert instruction and

is a constant threat which could knock my training back to the start
in the occurrence of a broken leg for example which can take up to six
weeks to heal. Such an injury prevents further training and produces a
weakness in that area and possible psychological damage.
Summary
By using a profile wheel and selecting my weakest and strongest
attributes from that wheel I have been able to identify what I am good
at and what needs my attention during training. Through highlighting
these attributes I will now work towards maintaining my strengths,
training my weaknesses, maximising my opportunities and minimising my
threats in task two of The Reflective Practitioner. I will be able to
do this by identifying my short term and long term goals and analysing
these using SMART Targets.
Carlton suffered an acute tissue injury on his foot after stepping on a sharp edge shell, which disrupted the layers of the skin. Immediately after an injury occurs, an inflammatory response begins, which serves to control and eliminate altered tissue/cells, microorganism, and antigens. This takes place in two phases. 1) The vascular phase, in which small vessels(arterioles, venules) at the site of injury undergo changes. Beginning, with
This module of study has focused on many aspects of human health, anatomy, and the disease process. It has included such topics as the human organ systems, the mechanism of disease and the resulting disruption of homeostasis, the integumentary system, and the musculoskeletal system. The following case studies explore how burn classification will affect treatment, how joint injuries can disrupt mobility, and last, how a sedentary lifestyle can contribute to a decline in a person’s health status. The importance of understanding disease and knowing when to seek treatment is the first step toward enjoying a balanced and healthy life.
Ties in with length of visits. If visits are too long (i.e. 3-5 days), recovery time could be months. This would require much fewer visits. If visits are 1 or 2 days, there will always be at least 5 days in between visits and recovery.
Overall, my character and academic skills have made me a strong candidate to be part of NHS. My willingness to face challenges has me happy to prove myself to NHS, showing myself in different ways. I want to continue my passion of helping others, even giving myself as an example to motivate other students to do just what I'm doing.

The statute of limitation refers to the length of time in which a plaintiff can file a claim. The principle behind statute of limitation is that lawsuits cannot be improved as time passes by. For one, clear details of the facts can be blurred as memories can fade and witnesses may die, go away, or lose interest of the case. Ideally, court prefers to settle the case as soon as disputes develop (Warner, 2010). However, for professional and product liabilities, with injuries may take time to manifest, many courts adapted different rules such as postponing the running of the statute until the injury has been reasonably discovered. The length of time differs among states and branches of law (Danzon, 1985). The long and deferred statutes of limitations lead to long tail of claims and contributed majority of medical malpractice and product liability (Danzon, 1985). In this section, statutes of limitations for medical malpractice in two states are compared.

... people who were holding the rope and would not let it go if I slipped, I would not have been able to climb as high as I did. You are willing to take a dive off of the high platform knowing that in the case you are not able to grab onto the handlebars, the belayer will be there to catch you.
... my determination and self-assurance paid off. Not only did I learn how to climb and to overcome my fear of heights, but I also learned something about myself. I have more confidence than what I thought I did before. Sometimes when I go rock climbing I think back at this moment and just laugh to myself. The struggle, the frustration, and pain, but all worthwhile. I now know when I am faced with a new and uncomfortable situation I’m not so worried or nervous instead I challenge it. Everyone encounters a fear in their life, some walk away and some overcome it, am glad I did. I may feel out of my comfort zone in the beginning, but I know that as I practice and stay persistent being in that new situation and as my skills get better; I will slowly but surely feel more comfortable. It is a truly great, free feeling when you accomplish a goal you have set for yourself.
On December 3rd, 2008, 23-year-old Louisiana State University senior Brandy Lynn Fecke travelled with classmate Chad Culotta to the LSU Recreation Center to use the bouldering wall in order to complete a required assignment for an Outdoor Living Skills Activity course. After successfully traversing up the easier 13’ climbing wall, which did not require her to wear a harness, Fecke lost her footing on the way down, and fell, resulting in injuries to her foot and leg, and at least three surgeries. Prior to actually climbing the wall, both Fecke and Culotta paid to enter the facility, as well as executed a Rock Climbing Wall Participation Agreement, which was provided to her via LSU activity center employees. Additionally, Fecke was asked if she had previous experience with rock climbing walls, to which she answered yes, that she had been twice before, once when she was eight years old, and a second time when she was ten. Employees still reviewed safety precautions and warned Fecke of the dangers of the rock wall. With all of this in mind, Fecke still chose to climb the rock wall.
The severity of condition before surgery, also plays the role in the time taken for recovery.
