4 people attending
4 places left
This event is part of the OutdoorLads Big Spring Climb 2025- but you are welcome just to attend this event by itself if you prefer!
One of the less famous crags in the Peaks, Lawrencefield offers climbing at a accessible grades in a pleasant wooded setting around a pool. Although compact, there is a variety of climbing including some multipitch.
Event suitability
This event is aimed at experienced climbers so at a minimum attendees should be comfortable seconding including belaying the leader (ideally with half ropes) and removing protection. The number of spaces available for seconds will be determined by the number of experienced lead climbers that sign up.
If you do not quite have this much experience - perhaps you have been out on trad a couple of times or are an experienced sport climber looking to make the jump - then drop me a message and I will see if we can accommodate this. It may be possible to offer a limited number of these spaces depending on there being sufficient independent climbers in attendance that are happy to supervise.
Equipment
No equipment will be provided.
At a minimum you should have standard personal kit for trad:
- Harness and shoes
- Helmet (this is mandatory and you will not be allowed to participate without one)
- Belay device and locking carabiner - must be suitable for half ropes i.e. not a Gri Gri!
- Nut key
- Prussik (for abseil backup etc.)
Please message the event leader when signing up with an idea of your experience and what additional equipment you will be bringing (racks, ropes etc.)
IMPORTANT! - Participation Statement
