So instead of Social Climbing/Beginners at the uni wall this week, we're headed outdoors for an afternoon of Sport climbing, probably to runestone quarry in the lake district. We'll be leaving from outside University House at 12.30PM.

This will be ideal for those of you who are keen to become more confident at leading outdoors or try pushing your grade. We've two types of tickets for this trip; 'independent pair' tickets for those who feel quite happy sport climbing outside (please give this a read), and 'climber' tickets for those of you who want more guidance and support; these are open to any experience level. 

Who knows what the weather will be doing; if its grim we might bin it off and go to Preston Wall. Buying a ticket is a confirmation that you are happy for either climbing outdoors or Preston Wall. That said, we've been lucky with the weather in the past so hopefully, we'll be climbing outside; blind optimism always pays off! The forecast is ok but we may get rained on, so pack waterproofs and warm clothing, along with plenty of food and water (and maybe even revision for the dedicated/crazy!). It's also always a good idea to pack a headtorch if you have one. On the flip side we can pray that the nice weather returns so suncream and some cooler layers might be needed, its worth checking the forecast for little langdale, if you are unsure still please contact our safety officer Chris Morris.

The climbing at Runetsone is accessed by a 40 minuite aproach on gravel paths, so wear appropriate and sturdy footwear. Walking beneath the crag can also sometimes require care as there is loose rock above, and there are no toilet facilities. Please be mindful of these hazards at the base of the crag. Please let a leader or an exec member know if you're struggling at any point in the day. 

Please indicate any accessibility needs on your ticket questionnaire and we will do our best to accommodate.
