HOTEL EIGERWAND
On a dark Alpine North Face, cold wind in my hair
The dark chill of anxiety, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a menacing sight
My arms grew heavy and the ice too thin,
I had to stop for the nightThere it stood near t…[Read more]

Hmm
“I’m not sure if you are aware, this club seems to be slightly falling apart”
Having given this comment fair consideration along with the general suggestion of the op I can’t agree with it.
“all committee members pay for all trips fairly” As far as I know this happens. If there has been abuse then name and shame.

FM speed record depends on where you start. The actual rock climb can be soloed in about 15min (prob less if you wanted). From blue lough to summit take an extra 15ish. But I’ve never timed it exactly so I make no claims.

Google Sperrin challenge walk 2011.
OwenL replied to the topic Challenges in the forum Banter 5 years, 11 months ago
Sperrin Ridge Challenge. Was thinking of doing this some weekend. One end of the Sperrins to the other. Quite long but not as boggy as you would expect.

Would love to set two new routes on the everest in the new year. Will require jugs.
OwenL started the topic Ben Nevis 17th-21st November in the forum Meets 6 years, 2 months ago
I guess it’s a bit late notice but I’ve got some free time and am thinking of a fast and light assault on Ben Nevis next week. Anyone interested in joining? Flights are cheapest between 17th to 21st (£67 return + bus fees). Expect fell running and scrambling.

Don’t think ys are behind in teaching. Top rope belays can be taught to large numbers but learning leading and l/belaying depends on the person. Some people learn indoor leading in 3 days others will learn over 3 years.
Wouldn’t worry too much about the comp but it never hurts to have problems set as long as they’re good (and at a range of…[Read more]

Decent looking weather tomorrow. Is anyone interested in climbing at Fairhead or running in the Mournes during the day. Should be back in Belfast approx 5 or 6ish.

Fecking forum.
Nope I had a screwgate and belay plate. The screwgate was Aimee’s and the belay plate belonged to someone else or possibly clubs (think it ended up in the store).
The grigri exists I know not where.

Hey, I’ve sent ye a message. Was thinking of heading to Fairhead for Thursday evening. I’m off work at 4. So could manage a few routes at the prow maybe?
OwenL replied to the topic Escape the 12th for the Burren! in the forum Meets 6 years, 6 months ago
Hey folks,
Pete Reid has backed out of the Burren so his space is up for grabs if anyone wants a lift with Aimee and myself. Possibly my housemate is coming too.
We’ll be there Fri-Mon 🙂
OwenL replied to the topic Escape the 12th for the Burren! in the forum Meets 6 years, 6 months ago
Aimee , Pete Reid and myself were planning on heading down Friday evening. Will try to leave before 6 and shall be heading for the same camping spot as last year. Think we’ll be coming back Monday.
Woop woop!
