Evening Meets at Hollywood Park Boulder


Hollywood Park Boulder

Wed 8th Apr, 2015

Roll over from 1st April. Alternative venue is Hobson Moor Quarry for those wishing to place nuts.

Hobson Moor Meet Report

Members: Dave Wylie, Emily Pitts, Gareth Williams, Andy Stratford

Guests: Mike Whitehurst (aka Mike the Bike), Beth Thomas, Alexandra Pawlik

Mike and Emily had an early start - with Mike opting to warm up on Drought E4 6a - those of you who followed KMC member Emma Timmis on her epic 4000km run across Africa will know MIke as ''the Bike'' - ie the greater part of Emma's support team. Emily chose not to follow an E4 as her warm up so Mike abbed for the gear. Given the weather it obviously had to be Bring me Sunshine at E1 5b for Mike, this time seconded by both Gareth and Emily. 

Dave and Alex teamed up - with Dave making a confident start to the outdoor season leading Epitaph Corner VS 4b and Foghorn Groove VS 4c and  Alex led Pocket Wall at VDiff. 

Meanwhile, inspired by Mike's reports, Beth led Bring me Sunshine followed for a second time by Gareth. Its that good!

Meanwhile Andy enjoyed Crews Route at VS 4c, then attempted Gideon at VS 5a which he dogged in two places. 

The Waggon and Horses saw all the members visit: Slawstone bridge in Leicestershire proposed by Gareth and Troy Quarrey proposed by Dave. Unsurprisingly Troy won!

Hollywood Park Boulder

Wed 28th Mar, 2012

Please note its near the SW enterance to the park.

Present: Ding, Laura, Ozcan, Dave D, Al, Mark A and some budding locals.

Attempts at the Five Pointed Palm Exploding Heart Technique with only three holes to go at proved enough of a challenge for the whole evening. Retiring to the Old Vic revealed some absolution and about ten peeps busking in quite a folky way. Note that Longford Park has the full compliment of five holes for the complete cheese maneuver.



Back to Current !!!!

During the spring and summer months evening meets are held outdoors at local crags, usually on Wednesdays, weather permitting. Keep an eye on the scribbles for the latest information. Indoor climbing wall meets start again in the autumn.

Some lucky people may be able to get out climbing nice and early, but this will vary depending on work hours and the traveling distance. Generally you should find KMC climbers at the crag by 6pm and some might still be there after its gone dark.

If you have any questions about coming along to a meet, or if you want to try and arrange car sharing, etc., then just send us an e-mail. For the latest information check the Scribble pages.
