Black Rocks


Attendees: Richard Yorke (Meet Leader), James Hoyle.

 

Very cold and very foggy weather made for an atmospheric meet with three routes done: Gaia, Meshuga and Curving Arete. And then James and I awoke from our dreams and climbed Right Promontory Gully, Stonnis Arete Variations and Blind Man's Crack. Shame about the weather and the poor turnout but we both left the crag feeling better than when we arrived so it must have been worth it. We shall return.

Meet Promo:

This meet will probably take the form of a walk rather than climbing due to the predicted rain, but bring your gear just in case. Plan is to meet at 10am at the car park spot on the B5036 outside of Cromford on the way to Wirksworth (it's the same spot as recommended for the crag in most guidebooks).

After a brief visit to the crag to take in the atmosphere and history of the place we'll set off on the high peak trail past Harborough Rocks and then across the debryshire dales to Winster for a pint and something to eat. (Option to stop short at pub in Grangemill should the weather be truly awful). From there we'll head back to Cromford across Bonsall Moor to Bonsall and then through Middleton and back to the car park.

Hope to see you there.
