    Tuesday’s meet (21st April) at Shepherd’s Crag is looking sunny so unless there’s a radical change in the weather, the meet will be on.

    Routes at all grades, I suggest we meet at the crag and share lifts where possible (organise via Whatsapp). Parking currently looks to be feasible at the old Cafe, or at Kettlewell, or at the Borrowdale Hotel where we plan to go for a drink afterwards.

    I will get to the Brown Slabs area at around 4pm, so for anyone who is new to KMC or would like to meet up there to find a climbing partner, see you there….

    If anyone is unable to bring a half rope (50 or 60m) and/or prefers not to lead, please let me know directly on whatsapp or by email: tinaholt2004@yahoo.co.uk.

    This is the perfect meet if you haven’t been to many meets and would like to come along and get to know people, or haven’t climbed much, or don’t lead or feel tentative about joining a meet.

    I hope to see lots of you on Tuesday,

    Tina

    Tuesday’s meet involved blue sky, sun and a brisk breeze.

    It was so well attended that I have no chance of listing everyone but here goes: Cath S, Ann, Mark M, Mark W, Mike W, Dan and Dan HB, Alvaro, Joe, Pete, Stuart, Geraint, Phil, Harry, Matt, Bry, Adam. Huge apologies if I missed you out.

    Routes were too many to mention, but spanned the full range from V Diffs and Brown Slabs Scoop on Brown Slabs to favourites like Little Cham and Ardus, an impressive ascent of Aaros by Matt, an eventful attempt on Wild Sheep by Mike W, plus Fishers Folly, Double Cream, The Grasp, Shepherd’s Gully and more.

    We compared notes afterwards at the Borrowdale Hotel. Thank you all for coming along, and for adding a few photos to the group chat.

    Tina
