We meet at the Camphill Bowling club on Wednesdays at 9pm. During the Summer cragging season we don’t all make it back, but there’s always somebody there. If you want to come cragging it’s best to arrange to meet with somebody beforehand rather than just turning up in case nobody goes due to the weather. Come down the bowlie or post on our message board and somebody should be able to help you out, share lifts and so son. Most members are generally friendly and will be happy to help out new climbers, but there’s nothing formal so just ask about.

Buy, borrow or steal at least:

Harness

Helmet – no insistence on this, it’s your bonce so it’s up to you

Preferably a belay plate and HMS karabiner, but not essential climbing as a 3

Rock boots –will make life a lot easier!

Nut key

Screwgate krab and prussik loops for abseiling – not really required for cragging, but will be needed for climbing on mountain routes
