Gigg South Meet Report
Despite a day of pretty much constant rain, 6 of us managed to climb in the sunshine of the bolts up at Gigg South.
We all got 4 routes in I think so definitely worth the trip up! The crag was dry and the climbers happy – this climber was even happier when we got the pub and they had my favourite ale on!! Woo!
Happy Days!
One more outdoor Tuesday meet left guys – be nice to see you all there 🙂

Bamford Edge Meet Report
Four of us had a great days climbing at this crag which is not often frequented by the club. Starting in the Neb Buttress area Stephen G and I started on the short curve (Vdiff) whilst Steve W and Andy M started on Bamford Wall(Severe) which was repeated by Stephen G and myself before we tackled the aptly named Reach(VS). The crag was getting quite busy so we headed off towards the great Tor area where Recess Crack(VDiff), Browns Crack(HS), Kelly(Severe) and possibility(Severe) were all tackled.
Andy
All in all it was a grand days climbing at a crag which needs another visit.
Ilkley Meet Report
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 😀
