If you are new to rock climbing in the last year or two and have not yet ventured beyond climbing walls and, maybe, top rope protected climbing at Harrisons & Bowles Rocks, then our Club trip to the Peak District in the summer (see newsletter for dates) will be a perfect trip for you to come and learn about climbing with a lead climber and traditional protection techniques.<\/p>\n

The gritstone and limestone crags of the Peak District, such as Stanage Rocks, Burbage Edges, Birchden Edge and Harborough Rocks have many classic rock climbs that are both exciting\u00a0and ideal for beginners to learn how to do trad climbing with a leader placing his\/ her own protection\u00a0and a second following them up and taking the protection\u00a0out.<\/p>\n

We have members with many years experience of this type of climbing who will be on hand to guide you. Find out:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • What to wear<\/li>\n
  • Grading of trad\u00a0climbs.<\/li>\n
  • How to tie on.<\/li>\n
  • Leader\/seconder\u00a0communication\u00a0systems.<\/li>\n
  • How to protect\u00a0yourself on both single & multi pitch climbs.<\/li>\n
  • The pleasure of climbing in one of the original homes of British\u00a0rock climbing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Accommodation\u00a0will be camping at a campsite (to be advised) with all the usual wash\/toilet facilities.<\/p>\n

    Please note that this is not<\/span> a course and by attending\u00a0then you must accept that there is a degree of risk in all rock climbing and that you accept this risk as your responsibility.<\/p>\n

    If you are interested, then please contact Dick Gasson or Nick Warren.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
