Bamford Edge Meet Report

18/09/2016 by Andy Hudson Leave a Comment

Four of us had a great days climbing at this crag which is not often frequented by the club. Starting in the Neb Buttress area Stephen G and I started on the short curve (Vdiff) whilst Steve W and Andy M started on Bamford Wall(Severe) which was repeated by Stephen G and myself before we tackled the aptly named Reach(VS). The crag was getting quite busy so we headed off towards the great Tor area where Recess Crack(VDiff), Browns Crack(HS), Kelly(Severe) and possibility(Severe) were all tackled.

All in all it was a grand days climbing at a crag which needs another visit.

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!

Pot Scar – Meet Report

10/08/2016 by Vikki 1 Comment

POT SCAR10 of us plus Bella made the trip up to Pot Scar last night.

We climbed mostly under a blue sky until the end of the night when a shower soaked us all whilst on our last routes!

A beer in the Talbot made up for it though 🙂

Brilliant night as always!

See you next week

Great Close Report

27/07/2016 by Andy Barton 2 Comments

Despite ominous clouds and the occasional light drizzle, Keith and I knocked off two classic HSs ‘Crossover’ and ‘Kestrel Crack’ before heading down to The Listers for for a great pint of Main Line. Unfortunately there was no one else available to take a photo of the daring duo.
