I'm Tim's climbing buddy, and I'd be up for this too. I have my own harness and rock shoes etc. I'm going on a trad climbing trip to the Peak District on the 17th, which should be pretty awesome :D

I too have a lot of uni work though, so I'll have to wait a few weeks.

Take loads of photos

I have a couple of spare harness`s if anyone wants to come along and try out the climbing

Allyc  it could be Sunday 17th April before i get out climbing again if that date suits you to come along ?

Would you mind if I tagged along Alan? I'd love to start getting outdoors with climbing

alanrsv

Hi Big E  Come along and try out the climbing, if you like it buy climbing shoes next, the equipment is expensive but i gathered it up piece by piece over several years


Hi Tim   Aye come along i'll get you started, We'll get a few people together and go through the basics

ZTO

If I don't get to the Peak District for coursework related reasons, I might tag along too, if that's okay.

alanrsv

Hi ZTO   Aye come along no problem

Allyc

Eamonn

Cheers Alan. Really looking forward to this.

ZTO

Looks like I'm not going to get to the Peak District  :(

So what's the plan for the 17th? Anyone have any particular routes in mind? Hen Mountain is supposed to be good, or the Bearnagh Slabs may be fun.

Also, I can offer a lift to anyone from the Ballynahinch area who's coming along, if it's still happening.

Sounds like a plan Alan. Me and ZTO have got ourselves sorted with helmets and we have our own harnesses, shoes etc but no rope or rack other than a sling and a few screwgates. We've also been invited for a bit of climbing on Saturday the 16th in the Mournes as well so I think we're going to bivvy somewhere on Saturday night and meet you all at Hen on Sunday morning

alanrsv

tim,zto,big e, i will meet you on sunday morning around 10 am and will bring ropes etc,enjoy saturdays climbing
