I was thinking the Gap of Dunloe in Kerry.
If the weather is good then theres plenty of trad, if the weather is shit then we can go hillwalking

Conor, care to ascend Donard on my shoulders?
chris replied to the topic Challenges in the forum Banter 5 years, 4 months ago
I would never play ignorant for the fun of it, that’s for sure…

All of these things are outside, can we not have some in the PEC?
chris replied to the topic Challenges in the forum Banter 5 years, 4 months ago
Well in that case, 50% of body weight in rucksack, walk up a big hill for reps
chris replied to the topic Challenges in the forum Banter 5 years, 4 months ago
Squat body weight for 20 reps without putting the bar down
50 chin ups with x% of body weight added
That kind of thing. Increase your load bearing capacity!
chris replied to the topic Challenges in the forum Banter 5 years, 4 months ago
I would gladly come up with weight related challenges for anyone who wants to get stronger-er

It’s an awful lot of effort to begin with, but definitely worth the time IMO.
Wednesdays at the wall could be a 3 hour stretching session 😛

Starting Stretching
You can thank me later. Do it as part of your warm-up and warm down.
Enjoy those sweet, sweet mobility gains.

I am very much up for this if/when it happens 😀
chris replied to the topic Leading in the forum Events 5 years, 6 months ago
My fundraiser should be the 27th 😀
RE: Lead belaying
I have memories of small groups being taught before the Donegal trip, but don’t think it really matters so long as it’s done some time before Gola.
chris replied to the topic Climbing Everest in the forum Banter 5 years, 6 months ago
So, we are hoping to do this on the evening of Thursday 27th.
The club is of course more than welcome to take part as well- this is a fundraising campaign, so obviously the more the merrier!
chris replied to the topic Climbing Everest in the forum Banter 5 years, 6 months ago
Yeah, I was thinking that for it to actually happen in less than 6 hours it may be a good idea to recruit some climbers to the cause!
