For our next climbing trip, we will be heading to the Peak district for the weekend to sample some of the fantastic gritstone climbing that it has to offer.
We will be staying at the Carlswark Cottage that is owned and run by the Derbyshire Pennine club. This hut is in the perfect location for climbing as it is only a matter of minutes from the closest crag!
***You must be able to lead belay for this trip. If you cannot already, please make sure to head to the awesome walls sessions running on Wednesday afternoons for the next two weeks. Please speak to Bethanie Rushworth if you are interested in coming along, or cannot make a Wednesday session***
