As many Universities start up around the country many University Clubs hit the crags, and the Peak District is always popular. This year the committee from UPMCC decided to do some extra training in top and bottom rope rigging, crag etiquette and lead climbing.
Saturday was an almost perfect Gritstone day, and the team spent it at Birchen Edge looking at a variety of the above topics with the opportunity for lots of practice. Sunday kicked off with a brief visit to Outside in Hathersage to make some essential 'trad' climbing purchases before heading to Windgather rocks.
For me it was an unexpected weekend off as sadly Ollie and Frank were unable to join me. Ollie if you are reading this I hope you are on the mend..
