Craven Mountaineering Club
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. 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!

Now the random snow showers have stopped, a great night was had at Earl Crag last night.
8 of us enjoyed a sunny evening and we were lucky to be sheltered from the wind!
Highlights included Rat Juggling (E1) that we set up a top rope on and the lovely Prow Buttress (MS)
Happy days 🙂
Hi all,
I am just starting to plan the walking meets calendar for the next couple of months and would be grateful if anyone could lead a walking meet. The choice of walk is entirely up to you. You can choose either the Saturday or the Sunday of the following weekends:
May 14/15
May 28/29
June 11/12
June 25/26
If anyone wants to lead on a specific date beyond June then also let me know. The general plan is to alternate weekend meets between climbing and walking.
The walking side is part of the club we are trying to promote a bit more but it can’t happen without volunteers for which I shall be grateful of.
