UPDATE - 20/07

If the weather stays as it is (& that's a big IF), then this is not to be missed!

"Ideal conditions are warm summer days after a dry spell, when the place can be enjoyed to the full. On late summer evenings the cliff gets its annual dose of sunshine and climbing up here under these rare conditions is magical."

This meet will be aiming to catch that rare magic, meaning it will be an afternoon/late evening meet, starting 12pm at Torside Car Park - Peak District NP.

So have a lie-in, enjoy a spot of brunch, do whatever needs to be done and then join me for a climb on one of the best cliffs in the Peak District.

----------------------------------

This meet is open to all members and non-members.

Perched impressively above Woodhead Resevoir on the edge of Bleaklow, this is a crag etched in KMC history -  featuring first ascents dating back to the late 1940s. Come test your mettle against some the original pioneers of our club!

Rockfax states there's 13 routes up to the grade of VD, 11 Severes, 3 HSs, 13 VSs, 11 HVSs & 16 E1-6s including some of the best VSs and HVSs the Peak has to offer.

The approach is fairly long and can take anywhere up to an hour. If the parking is full at the western end of Woodhead Resevoir, there is alternative parking at the other end near the site of Woodhead Railway Station. 

I will be arriving at the main parking from 10am and heading up promptly.

This meet has known to be quite midgey in the past, so if there's little wind, ample protection in sprays, nets and appropriate layers is recommended - fingers crossed it won't come to that.
