Well its better late than never but the WMC 2011 meets card is finally here. We had a few technical glitches which have prevented us from publishing it in pdf any earlier but the clubs calendar was updated late last year so hopefully no one has missed out.

You can download a copy of the meets card here - http://www.wolverhamptonmountaineeringclub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/WMC-meets_2011.pdf

This month we have a slideshow in the pipeline, we are off to the club’s hut in Snowdonia and venturing to Scotland for some ice climbing at the end of February. Hopefully we will see you there!

Who would have thought that we would see such conditions in March. Below is a selection of images including Dave Wilkinson enjoying a rest on top of Pen yr ole wen after leading left hand fork of Y gully with Mick Jones. Conditions were fairly good especially out of the sun.

Carol on Looning the Tube, Dinorwig Quarries

The Dinorwig quarries are our local crag when we are at the hut. As some may be aware part of t quarry was closed for filming over the summer and Dali’s hole is becoming more and more popular. The owners of the quarries, First Hydro, have concerns about their liability.

The BMC requests

Climbers are asked to avoid gathering in large groups at this very visible site [Dali's Hole] and organised groups (club meets, youth groups, etc.) are requested to be particulary aware of the sensitivity of this site and the need to keep a low profile here.
