Craven Mountaineering Club
Five of us plus Freddie and Stitch had a very pleasant days walking of about 9 miles over Great Whernside and down to Tor Dike and Cam Head. After enjoying the culinary delights of Syvia’s cake we descended to Starbotton before returning along the river to Kettlewell where more cake was consumed. The weather was mainly kind to us with only the odd light shower. All in all t’was a grand day out.

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!
Happy Days 🙂
What a brilliant night!
After finding the crag, 13 of us climbed the trad routes on the upper crag at Gigg.
I think this was the first visit here for a few members but all seemed in good spirits as they went off to the pub leaving Mr Brayshaw and I on the rock! 😉
Great evening in great company!
Happy days!
The trudge up to the crag was well worth it with half a dozen of us knocking off the classics including (Photo – Brian Lewis’s 1st ascent of Dental Slab HS*** ) (Photo – Shirley giving welly) and Castrol VS***
Well, after a very dodgy looking afternoon 9 of us braved the long walk up to Crookrise and it was well worth it!
We even ended up climbing in the sunshine which was very unexpected.
The classics were done by pretty much all of us and I personally enjoyed (not sure that’s the right word!) a typical gritstone chimney which is supposed to be a VDiff but I beg to differ!
Always happy to have made a trip up to this crag 🙂
