Craven Mountaineering Club
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 🙂
Jo on Inertia Syndrome (revisited ) 6a+ making the most of the last rays of sunshine before heading off to the Game Cock. Ten turned out for a fabulous evening on some impressively vertical rock. Routes included Wheels on Fire 6a+, Tombstone Blues 6a, Dr Frank(enstein)’s Nightmare 5+, Just Cruisin 5.
What a fantastic evening!
13 of us had an awesome night up at Oxenber. Â A nice breeze kept the midges away and the rain held off too.
Loved seeing a friend of Keiths waist belaying all night whilst using two slings and a screwgate as a harness – retro!! 🙂
Lots of ascents of the Oxenber classics and we’re all in agreement that a bit of gardening is needed on most of the routes
Happy days!
