Hey academic weapons!

Oscar and I (Raff) are keen to take some people out to Bell Supercrag instead of preparing for exams. There is a huge range of grades so there’s something for everyone. No experience doing anything is required, just a basic level of physical fitness. If you have any questions, just message Oscar or myself. We’ll set up top-ropes, but I’m very happy for people to lead. The specific wall we go to will depend on the experience of the group.

There is a long (by climbing standards) hike to get in and out of the crag, experience scrambling and physical fitness is a must have. It takes ~1 hour to get in and out of the crag with a fair bit of elevation.

YOU MUST CLIMB!!!

If you come on this trip you are committing to trying every climb that is set up until you run out of energy!!! This is not a trip just for socialising, obviously there will be plenty of socialising, but more than that people will climb. This is meant to be a distraction from the fact I’m doomed for my exams, any time off the wall is time being inadequately distracted! To make sure you have read the description, please let me know your expected climbs per hour in the comment.

Ideally I will also be able to climb stuff aside from setting up climbs so there will be less of an emphasis on learning and more of an emphasis on losing skin and popping pulleys.
