Birchen's Edge has been my longtime favourite crag with classic climbs at all grades but particularly at the low end.  These include Emma's Dilemma, Delusion, Delight and Temptation, Nelson's Slab, Sail Butress, Topsail and Trafalgar Crack and Wall.  Sail Buttress, Topsail and Powder Monkey Parade are mentioned in Classic Rock.

Following a committee meeting, the topic of a Women's meet came up, and Birchens was identified as a suitable friendly crag.  So, if you are new to the KMC and would like to come to a meet where there will be lots of women and some men too, please come along. There will be an appearance from the KMC Ladies Luncheon Club, some of whom will hopefully be donning harnesses which haven't seen rock for a long time, I believe.

I will be at the Trafalgar Wall area at 10am.  Parking is at the National Trust Carpark at Robin Hood Inn on the A619 after Baslow and towards Chesterfield.  The cost is free for members who display their card, and £5 all day for non NT members.  Payment is made via card or cash at the machine or through PayByPhone 807042.  There is an overflow carpark, but as this gets busy at weekends, please car share if you can.  You can also access the  crag via the Gardom's Edge parking.

The Robin Hood Inn is perfect for after crag hydration.  Looking forward to seeing you there.
