Pule Hill Meet

About 10 people turned out for the Wednesday outdoor climbing meet at Pule Hill and was great to see some new faces. Pule Hill lived up to its reputation with as stiff breeze at the top of the crag, but was fairly sheltered at the base and in the quarries. The rain more or less stayed away and ended up with a stunning sunset. I didn’t manage to get too many photos as I was enjoying climbing with my daughter, the paraglider’s over head were a couple of friends, if it had been too windy the son would have been climbing with us too. Scull Climb Right Hand and Andy Stewart on Iliad. Andy Stewart on The Great Scoop. Gaining the top of the classic Amen, one of the bests V-Diffs in the area. Overhanging Arete Plenty of routes climbed both in the quarry and on the natural edge followed with a pleasant warm up in the Hanging Gate Inn which is now probably the nearest pub to the crag. Next weeks meet is at Stanage High Neb.

Pule Hill Meet 11/04/18

I’ve just popped up to Pule Hill and it’s pretty grim up there. The crag is in the cloud, windy, wet and cold. Suggest moving the meet to Awesome Walls at Stockport, not sure what the usual post climb pub is these days. Cheers, Craig.

Any one in the Calpe Area who could lend a rope for a day?

I’ve come out to Calpe today 17/02/18 just with the intention of single pitch climbing for a week so just have a single . However given our close proximity to the Penon it would be nice to do a climb with meter rope my daughter on it, we’re in the old harbour. I’ve been told there a few Rucksack members out here at the moment, so wondering if anyone would be happy to lend me a 2nd rope for the day as we’d climb as a 3. Full replacement of rope if it gets damaged or fallen on and a suitable hire fee is there too. Many thanks, Craig Hannah.
