THINK PINK @ ROPE RACE

Thursday 25th October 2007: In aid of Breast Cancer UK we held a 'Pink' evening at Rope Race, inviting all our climbers to come along in support of this worthy cause wearing something pink. If climbers entered wearing something pink £1 of their entry was donated to charity. OUr climbers were also invited to take part in a number of 'pink' challenges we set for them, including bouldering problems, climbs and traverses. We requested voluntary contributions to take part and this alone raised over £60! The evening was great success, with loads of climbers taking a challenge sheet and an excellent representation from our junior section. Congratulations go to Ellissa Bryant, David Kirk and Catherine Burgess who won the competition and walked away with new chalk bags as well as 'pink' prize!! Well done and many thanks go to all those who attended, took part and gave generously.

Outdoor Climbing

Saturday 13th October 2007: Burbage North. With the winter season fast approaching and the daylight fading fast the old Tuesday evening outdoor climbing has now moved to Saturday afternoon, to make the most of the available light. Winter makes for great climbing because although a bit chilly settled weather, such as that over the past week, makes the days crisp and dry and usually clear making for great views. Those venturing out to Burbage on the Eastern edge on Saturday had a great afternoon's climbing in one of the most pituresque and popular spots in the Peak. Hopefully the weather will hold and the forthcoming dates and vunues will prove to be as sucessful as Saturday. Check the website for full details of dates and locations.
