Craven Mountaineering Club
There were seven of us at Gigg South on Tues. Excellent conditions and we spread out along the crag covering many of the various sectors. First time I have climbed here when the rock felt truly dry and seemed to make a difference. Most enjoyable.
Here is a picture of John Brayshaw on the first climb of the evening ‘Out of Bounds’ – reputedly ‘the easiest climb at Giggleswick’ but with a stiff start!
An enjoyable evening at a busy Ilkley Quarry last night. Quite warm on arrival but when the sun disappeared it cooled down to the more customary levels. Six of us were there including Andy Hudson, Andy Barton, Roger, Phil and Craig. Climbs included fairy steps (HVD), nailbite (VD), Flake crack (HS), Walewska (VS), S Crack (VS), Josephine superdirect (VS) and Chiseller(S).
7 of us enjoyed the sunshine at Witches Quarry last night.
Some discussion was had about how the Severe grades feel a lot easier than the Diff grades but generally – a good night was had by all and there were no falling rocks or trips to A&E this time – Bonus! (Although there was a half eaten turnip came tumbling down the rock face at one point…… not even joking!)
After the sun had set we enjoyed a drink at the Assheton Arms in Downham.
A good start to the Tuesday meet program! 😀
