Re: Morocco trip 2024

An update on this; Luke, Graham and I are going for about two weeks and staying North of Tafraoute or perhaps even north of the mountains. All the crags seem to be on the north side and the guesthouses are on the south side so we haven't settled on where to stay yet. It's looking like perhaps mid J...

Re: Morocco trip 2024

Hi apas. I am an experienced climber and would not expect to have any bother on lower grade climbs. If you can belay and have a liking for adventure climbing, don’t see a problem with the actual rock climbing. I have never climbed in Morocco, so I will be starting carefully, exploring the area and p...

Re: Borrowdale 13th-14th May

I will be attending this Meet. I would ideally like to climb multi pitch up to and including VS. I could second a bit harder. I have a full rack, ropes and guide books. It's all good though and single pitch would do. I will be leaving on Friday and can offer a lift from North Leeds. I could leave on...

Me and Ian Ashman will be attending.
We are planning on touring down through Wales via various climbing venues, probably arriving in Bosherston sometime on Thursday.

Climbing 4th-7th August

Does anyone want to get out climbing in the next few days.
It's a good forecast for North Wales, the Lakes and the Peak.
I will lead up to VS and follow harder.
Post below if you are up for it and I will contact you.

Re: Buttermere 22nd/23rd July Camping Meet - booking open!

Due to the worsening forecast me and Ian are bailing.
It’s not good enough to do what we were panning and the fuel price is an issue these days.
Apologies.

Cheers
