Craven Mountaineering Club
Hi all 🙂
Hope you’re all enjoying the nice weather!
Myself and Andy (walking meets leader) were saying it would be good to alternate weekend meets between walking and climbing so were not planning a walk and a climb on the same weekend.
So just wondering if somebody is able to lead a climbing meet in the next couple of weekends to kick us off? Can be local or not so local….
If so, just let me know and I’ll add it to the website as a meet
Thanks
Vikki
Following the deluge that forced cancellation of the previous attempt of this walk we couldn’t have had a better day for the second attempt. Ten of us (plus Stitch and Fudge) enjoyed glorious blue skies, Â sunshine and plenty of snow on this walk. We enjoyed lunch on a windless summit and only on the very last section did the weather change bringing a few snow flurries.
Thanks all for a great day out.Andy

Three of us plus one guest wandered up to Rylstone on a warm evening under blue skies, a perfect evening to be up on a moorland Gritstone outcrop.
Starting out on the “must do” Presidents Slab, we moved onto “Bad Boys”, following this Steve decided to do Twin cracks (ignoring the luminous green and bird poo!), following this up with Falcon Crack, Monkey Corner and a top rope inspection of Angry Woman. Andy and myself decided on Senators Saunter (pictured), Misty Moo and Dead Kennedy’s.

Eventually the ever present rain of the past few weeks parted and we finally managed to get a Tuesday evening trip in.
8 of us headed upto Pot Scar to try to tick some of the classics and look at some of the more “esoteric” routes!
In the warm evening sun Equity, Nirvana, Cannabis and payback were all climbed, along with some lesser traveled routes such as Fingers Climb and Car Stop. There were even rumors Sunspot recieved an ascent…must just be a rumor though…..
As the sun set we headed off to the Mason’s at Gargrave for a post climb pint 🙂
