Intro to bouldering meets report
New members Kim Swallowe and Mark Connah turned up and, at the end of the day, assured me they had had an absolutely fantastic time. A wide selection of problems attempted from 4a to 5b on the Brickette, Brick, Armoured Car and Useful Boulder at Burbage South. Kim and Mark got to practice smear footholds, pinch grips, pockets, layaways, mantel-shelves and rockovers. A great first day on gritstone boulders.
So that anyone who wants to can take part in the crag clean and go bouldering, I’ll move the bouldering to the afternoon. Phone me on 07956032843 if you need to co-ordinate meeting up, otherwise see Geoff’s clean up meet details.
For the bouldering I’ll have my mat and guidebook, you just need rock shoes and appropriate clothing. We’ll have a go at a wide range of grades on a variety of boulders. Whatever grade you.normally climb at, or even if you’ve only just started climbing, they’ll be something you can do. Improve your technique, get stronger and have a laugh – I absolutely guarantee that you’ll have a fantastic timeWe now have 9 people going. I’ve increased our.booking from 8 beds to 10. There are another 8 beds we could book. If you’re going please pay your hut fees to Kathy to confirm your place.
Hi Eli – I have counted you as going, but miscounted the total. 7 so far, you, me, Geoff, Helen , Kathy, Mary and Andrew Ward. The Nicolsons maybe staying nearby.
Contrary to my earlier message, the hut is £12 per night, with an additional £1.00 for fuel. 6 people have booked on so far, and I’ve booked 8 places. Therefore, let me know soon if you’d like to come along, and if we accede 8 I think I’ll be able to book more places.
Do you mean Crainlarich? There is Torridon in Oct and Breamar next May. No one has booked on Crainlarich yet
so you’ve got a place. If you can pay your hut fees to Kathy nearer the time and once other people have booked on we can coordinate car shared. ThanksI’m not sure how to do that. This is the Ochils MC hut in the Southern Highlands. We were there last year. The main focus will be winter hill walking. Any questions just text/ ring me on 07956032843.
Thanks Russ, I nearly muddied the waters. It is the Torridon Youth Hostel which has an Achnasheen address and is run by Hostelling Scotland – not the other one that’s actually in Achnasheen. 3 of us booked in so far.
Hi Gordon – Sorry to hear you’re not well. Get well soon mate! If you send me details I’m happy to lead this walk – unless you’d sooner do it yourself at a later date.
Thanks
Richard
I’m probably up for this. Wednesday is my last day in work, so it’d be a nice way to start my retirement.
Hi Kial – I’m retiring imminently and plan to become much more involved in club meets – so feel free to give me some Tuesday evenings. This is bouldering right? Can I confirm venue nearer the time. I can take the 8th too if again I can confirm venue nearer the time.
Thanks
Richard
