Report

Mark , Robert and John arrived about 1pm blessed with sunny weather, being joined by Soivig early PM they completed most of the routes on the Girls slab area ,  then moving  onto the Central slab area , completing several more climbs ( Solvig leading her first HS - Fillings HS 4B) the early team were then joined firstly by Andy, closely followed by Rebecca and then the rest of the KMC  team  completing most of the climbs on the slab area  the best being Noggin HVS 5a , a bold and thin corner crack trad line , Nogg and Garth 2 x bolted VS lines

Kim arrived later and completed 3 climbs with Mark including the Fang HVS 5a, Matt arrived even later and continued climbing when most left due to the dropping temperatures

Several members stopped off at the Sparrow hawk for a post climb drink

It was generally agreed that Noggarth crag was a welcome new early season addition to the mid week meets list  - lots of route ticking at reasonable grades (Mark and Robert cmpleting some 12 +  routes) 

Nogarth is an unusal crag in lancashire it is slab climbing, which is both bolted and trad , well worth a visit early in the climbing season , reasonable grades and pleasant surroundings (I dont know a local pub but will endeavor to find one before the meet for post climbing drinks)

I will be there mid day if I can get a partner ( retired members welcome to give me a rope )

Otherwise it will be mid afternoon subject to weather 

I know its a bit of a trek for our south Manchester members but our North Mnchester members should find it a little easier
