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 😀

Widdop Meet Report

20/07/2016 by Vikki 3 Comments

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!

8 of us enjoyed a sunny evening and we were lucky to be sheltered from the wind!

Happy days 🙂

Ingleborough walk report

18/01/2016 by Andy Hudson Leave a Comment

ingwalkFollowing 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,  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

Rylstone – Meet report

25/06/2015 by CMCAdmin Leave a Comment

Ryl2Three 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.
