Many members know that a few of us have for the last couple of summers done some climbing on local crags on Thursday nights. This year I am formalising a list of venues to encourage a few more folk to attend.
Venues that I would look to attend at least once over the season :-
Gritstone Crags.
1. Windgather - 3rd April Craig & Larry were out. Cold & damp.
2. Castle Naze -10th April Rained off.
3. Roaches Lower Tier. - 17th April Craig & Larry were out. Cold & Dryish.
4. Roaches Upper Tier. - 24th April Rained Off.
5. Five Clouds. - 1st May Actually climbed on far right end of Roaches Upper Tier. Craig, Mark Hartell & Larry were out. Cold windy but dry.
6. Hen Cloud. - 8th May. Craig can't make it due to Club Committee Meet.
7. Back Forest. -15th May. Craig can't make it away in Snowdonia.
8. Ramshaw Rocks. - 22nd May
9. Gradbach Hill. - 29th May
Limestone Crags.
10. Aldery Cliff, Earl Sterndale. - 5th June
11. Staden Quarry. - 12th June
12. Harpur Hill Quarry. Sport Clip ups. - 19th June
13. Blackwell Halt Area. Cheedale. Sport Clip Ups. - 26th June
14. Smalldale, Crystal & Going Straight Walls. Sport Clip Ups. - 3rd July
15. Plum Buttress. Cheedale. - 10th July
If it rains on any of these nights then we will endeavour to visit the proposed venue in the later part of the summer ie. beyond this list of dates
Fair to say most of the Limestone venues offer only harder routes but there are quite a few folk around the club these days who are capable of them.
It would be good if folk who were interested in attending let me know by posting here or give me a call or mention it to me when you see me next.
Novices are not excluded but we would need to make provision for you kit wise & control numbers to ensure you are looked after properly.
Anyone with any thoughts or ideas ?.
