Dennis Gray talk re the development of climbing in West Yorkshire
Hi
Dennis is giving a potted history talk of the development of climbing in West Yorkshire at the Central Library in Leeds on Tuesday 27th November.
He says:-
The bar opens at 5.30pm, talk commences at 6.00pm.
It will be free to attend, but in order for the Library staff to estimate the attendance, they politely request that tickets be booked in advance via:
https//www.ticketssource.couk/whats-on/leeds/leeds-central-library-third-floor-leodis-room/climbing-in-west-yorkshire-a-history
If that does not work go on the Leeds Central Library web site and click on events.
In researching this subject, one has to come to a view of how key these developments have been in the overall
story of British and even international climbing. And what a galaxy of ‘stars’ have emerged from our Broad Acres,
Slingsby, Botterill, Frankland, Dolphin, Austin, Livesey, Fawcett etc……. Time will of necessity be limited but I will
try to put this story into context, whilst not forgetting the impact of the original Leeds University Wall. Constructed in 1964….
Please put the word out about this event to a wider audience. All will be welcome.
CMC Alps 2018 – THANKS!
Just to say thank you to those who went on the Alps trip to Vallorcine from 7th to 21st July, and who made it such a great and varied trip. Many thanks to Fiona, Hanne, Pete, Paul, John, Andy and Dave for your high levels of energy and motivation, and opening my eyes to the potential of the area. Also many thanks to Alan and Jesse who gave us very valuable advice before and during the trip!
Although we were a small group, we notched up a lot of rock climbing, alpine mountaineering, via ferrata and walking…. as well as a lot of chilling at the wonderful Camping des Montets….. I very much appreciate the advice shared by everybody, which not only resulted in us staying at a super campsite, but also helped us to make the best use of the time and have some great mountain experiences.
Suggestion for next year!? – Pete has suggested Innertkirchen in Switzerland, which apparently has similar variety as Vallocine. Bring it on!
Thanks again
Jon
