Classic Rock

The idea of a “Chairman’s Challenge” to complete, between us, all the climbs in Ken Wilson’s Classic Rock as an ongoing challenge, seems to have had plenty of support and will go ahead.  The book is excellent and widely available. 

Copies signed by all the members will go to the person or pair who do the most climbs once the list is completed (hopefully in 2009, but we shall see…)

It is an idea is borrowed from another club www.themam.co.uk  - an updated list of who has done what will appear on the website in due course, along with reports by anyone who completes a route.  Photos please!!
