March 26th - Pre Hot Pot Climb and Walk - Duncan and Derek
By Duncan Lee
Pre Hot Pot Climb and Walk
To work up an appetite for the above mentioned evening try out one of the options available for the daytime's entertainment.
Stanage, Duncan Lee.
Option one is a chance to shake a winters worth of dust off the climbing gear and to venture out into the spring sunshine (fingers crossed) at the Wall End area of the crag. Park at The Plantation and meet up at the crag , from 10am., to sample some of the delights of grit on such classics as Fern Crack (VS 4c**), Fern Groove (E2 5c **), Wall End Slab (VS 5a **), Archangel (E3 5b***) and Goliath's Groove (HVS 5a ***). The area offers great routes from diff upwards along with some superb bouldering if belaying gets a bit chilly late in the day.
See me at the pub on Thursdays for further information and help in arranging lifts out.
Alternative Attraction: Grindleford to Stanage, Derek Seddon
Join me on a walk on some varring tarrain, over Burbage and Hallam Moor, via the back of Stanage where we join the climbers for lunch. Then back through Hathersage and a riverside amble along the Noe. About 12 miles. Meet Grindleford at 9:15am for 9:30am start.
