Myself and Mark eddy headed out to deepest darkest Yorkshire (well, Settle) today, we fancied some climbing on Limestone and after a bit of research we decided on a small sport climbing venue just out of Settle village centre, a 4 min walk in brought us to the great Castlebergh crag, a venue developed by the local council in 2009, a nice smallish crag that over looks the village, and the central routes can be seen from the local café window!
There are 24 routes in total and vary from F4 to F7+ with lots of F6 routes to choose from, we ticked around 5 routes finishing with Ye olde naked man (F6b), the rock is fairly loose,(but well bolted) and most holds are either crimps or slopers, which made the climbing feel harder with very cold fingers, all in all a very enjoyable crag that I will be revisiting once it warms up a bit, I did take a couple of quick photos but for some reason they turned out blurred?

We took 6 medical students from Lancaster university out yesterday, they were raising money for a charity named B.E.A.T, which helps people with eating disorders, They decided they wanted to tackle the "big abseil" wall at Cathedral quarry in little Langdale, we managed to dodge the showers and everybody managed to face their fears and abseil 160ft of Lakeland slate like pro,s, well done guys and hope to see you later in the year for our planned multi activity day
