Every year the club organises early-season easy outdoor climbing days, to help refresh our outdoor skills, and also to give newer and less experienced members an introduction to climbing on real rock. The first of these was held at beautiful Birchen Edge in Derbyshire, home to many easy climbs (plus a few challenging classics).
Lured by Helen’s provision of generous scones and cream and promises of a family friendly venue and vibe, over 20 of us headed north, with ages ranging from under 10 to over 70.
