The Roaches (Oct 2005)

14th October 2005 to 16th October 2005

More climbing with the club. This time to The Roaches in the Peak District. Those of us who've been with the club for a little while went up on Friday night and stayed in the Don Whillans Memorial Hut, did some excellent climbing on Saturday and then stayed in the hut again that night. On Sunday we split into teams and showed around forty new people the basics of bouldering, roped climbing and abseiling. This was a rather excellent weekend. Although I did no leading I climbed some good routes seconding (almost as hard... sometimes). Notable climbs were Delstree, K2, and almost all (not the bottom move) of Bulwark (an E1).
