Thank you to all those who attended the session at Awesome Walls on Friday and Birchen Edge on Sunday. Temperatures have finally risen and the sun shone at the weekend. I was able to climb at both Awesome Walls and Birchen in a T shirt, something I have not been able to do inside or out this year.
There were, I think, 21 members plus a member’s dog, plus an ex-member at Birchen, a great turn out with a wide range of routes climbed. Those present included the usual suspects, new faces and some passage migrants. Even Chris Kell was in Sheffield long enough to climb several routes. By mid afternoon it was getting very hot and leaders were happy to sit on the top of the crag offering a rope to anyone who wanted one as they had a cooling breeze on their backs! Some even went off to the Robin Hood to avoid dehydration (as they claimed).
Hope fully we will get our share of similarly good days this summer – if the sun shines don’t miss the fun.
