Ingleborough Walk meet report

03/02/2019 by Andy Hudson Leave a Comment

Five of us enjoyed a wintry walk up Ingleborough, We were blessed with cold clear conditions and headed up through a rather Icy Trow Gill.

Once out of Trow Gill we emerged into the sunshine and snow as we headed over to Gaping Gill and gradually up stopping briefly for spikes/crampon fitting and onto Ingleborough which by the time we reached the top was a little misty but not without a view.

It was not a long thought process to decide whether to have lunch at the top in at best “nithering conditions” or head down for shelter so we headed for calmer conditions and lunch. Once refuelled we headed down and back via Long Scar and Long lane and back into Clapham. A grand day out and just a reminder that we are always looking for members to lead a walking meet.

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 Leave a Comment

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 😀

Widdop Meet Report

20/07/2016 by Vikki Leave a Comment

9 of us plus 2 members of the LCC who we made friends with enjoyed a very warm night at Widdop 🙂

We all did the classic “Ordinary Route” with it’s one off stomach traverse, don’t think we’ll encounter a traverse like that anywhere else! 🙂

A nice breeze kept the midges off until the sun started to set and we headed off the the pub for a well needed cold beer!

Now the random snow showers have stopped, a great night was had at Earl Crag last night.
