Completely uncurated dump of pics from Wilton Fest. Thanks to the legends that made it happen behind the scenes. Thanks to everyone that came and enjoyed. Thanks for the shamelessly stolen pics. Thanks Tim (RIP) whose daft idea this used to be. Cheers to the guidebook team working away to keep it all documented for the next generation (sneak preview). May your typos be few, your grades be fairly accurate. Onwards!

We love a guidebook here at BMC land, even one from across the border from

This one’s a labour of love spreading the word about lesser known delights in the Peak and around. Nice one guys!

A passion project from the team, they’re not taking a penny from sales. Once print costs are repaid, profits to the BMC Access and Conservation Trust and Woodhead MRT.

30 crags, around 2000 routes & problems, many new to print. Looking forward to some new days out 🏅🔥

In stock at .co.uk various climbing walls or search eBay for ‘North Sheffield Climbs’.

All welcome, BMC members and non-members.

Cheshire update: good news, bad news, good news. New bat monitoring survey, Harmers Wood. You’re not being recorded (unless you’re a bat after dusk) and the equipment will be gone in a week.

People still not quite getting the ‘don’t climb after recent rain’ message, another hold breakage. Please keep spreading the message if you can, especially with newer climbers who might not know.

Hayden’s quarry still looking good after last years tidy up via volunteers from the local wall

The routes could do with a bit of traffic to keep them clean, just as good as the more popular Schoolroom quarry next door. Especially if you’ve a head for highballs!

Denham quarry: potential kestrels nesting on Complete Streaker, Pool Wall. Avoid for now please.

Thanks James Anstee for the note!

Excellent collaboration this week giving Trowbarrow a wash and brush up.

Working with (land managers), members and our NW access team.

Brambles cleared from Red Wall and the bouldering traverse washed and brushed.

Scrub and tree maintenance on top of Main Wall with the removal of dead ash, making it easier to ID and reach healthier trees. Great teamwork 🤝💥
