The gritstone quarry (or quarries) at Lawrencefield in the eastern Peak District offer a very different style of climbing to natural gritstone.  Instead of grasping rounded edges and smearing your shoes on sandpaper-like rock you can grab onto sharp edges and aretes.  Lawrencefield has one and two-pitch climbs at all grades, is a short walk from the car park, and even has its own pond (though we do not plan to climb from a boat in the pond as shown in the event photographs).

To attend this event you will have climbed indoors (preferably with Outdoorlads) before and you will be competent with tying in with a figure 8 knot and belaying. If you do not have this experience, it will depend on the availability of suitably experienced leaders, as to whether you would be able to attend this event. If that is the case please message the event leader to discuss, before registering. 

*** More places may become available nearer the event, depending on the availability of leaders ***

As you may have noticed we are putting on beginners' climbing events in the area throughout the Easter weekend, also at Stanage (on saturday) and Burbage North (on monday).  You are welcome to sign up to all three events!  Those of us who are leading plan to stay at the North Lees campsite nearby.  Message the event leader if you would like to join us there.
