Photographer looking for Climbers

19/09/2017 by Vikki Leave a Comment

Hello all

We’ve received a message on the FB page from a photographer looking for climbers.  His message is as below –

Would it be possible or one of your members to contact myself?  I’m a photographer for the Yorkshire Post and would like to take a really good climbing picture in the Yorkshire Dales for the paper.  I had thought about the overhang at Kilnsey Crag, although I’m open to any options.   Or if someone knows an experienced climber that would be great. I was thinking about the overhang as a main picture. Possible cover for Country week on a Saturday.

Please contact me James Hardisty, Staff Photographer Yorkshire Post Newspapers on (M) 07710361117 or email me at james.hardisty@jpress.co.uk

Please contact James directly if interested

A message from Vikki

Hi all

You may have noticed I’ve been a bit absent from climbing meets, just wanted to let you know I’ll be absent for a few more yet.  I’m ok but my parents need me at the minute so I’m spending a lot of time up in the lakes with them and will be continuing to do so for a while yet.

Hope you’re all enjoying the weather and I hope to see you all asap!

Gigg South Meet Report

28/09/2016 by Vikki 1 Comment

Despite a day of pretty much constant rain, 6 of us managed to climb in the sunshine of the bolts up at Gigg South.

We all got 4 routes in I think so definitely worth the trip up! The crag was dry and the climbers happy – this climber was even happier when we got the pub and they had my favourite ale on!! Woo!

Happy Days!

One more outdoor Tuesday meet left guys – be nice to see you all there 🙂

Ilkley Meet Report

14/09/2016 by Vikki 3 Comments

Well, I’m sure anyone based in the U.K. can guess what happened to us last night!

We rocked up at the quarry to find a slack line up and a bunch of kids top roping the easier routes so we tootled off to Rocky Valley….

The climbing was good, Steve and I made a cracking attempt on Flake Climb (S) and 3 Slab route was climbed a few times. Tim and Brian found a classic gritstone chimney to play in and we were a happy bunch of 8 climbers…… then I checked my phone and found some messages from a worried hubby checking we were ok??? What was he on about the weather was humid but lovely…… then we started seeing flashes of lightening in the distance.

The rest I will let you imagine but I guarantee…. it was worse!

But we all got down safe, had a beer and we all managed at least one route so happy days, all good fun 😀

Giggleswick North Meet Report

07/09/2016 by Vikki Leave a Comment

6 of us braved the humidity and well dodgy path along the crag to climb the routes up at Gigg.

We found a section of dry rock and went for it!  Cracking night with great company as always 🙂

Finished off in the Talbot – which has become our pub of choice this year, with a very well deserved pint!
