Snow proves scenic for climbing club


MEMBERS of the Clitheroe Mountaineering Ciub braved the snow and strong winds to enjoy scenic views of North Waies during their recent out­


ing. The party of 18 travelled to


North Wales to stay at the Glen Dena climbing hut near the eastern shore of Llyn Ogwen, between Bethesdaand Capel Curig. On Saturday, one group set out


for Heather Terrace - a slanting ramp rising across the buttresses and gullies of the east face of Try- fan giving access to the mountain’s south ridge. Progress to the pass of Bwlch

A NEW chairman was installed at the annual meeting of Clitheroe Probus Club. Held at the Pendle Club,


Clitheroe, the meeting began with a period of silence for members who had passed away during the last 12 months. Outgoing chairman Peter Gamer then thanked his committee members for their invaluable sup­ port. There were several motions to be


considered by the members, mostly affecting the club constitution. Members took a number of deci­ sions amending the club constitu­


tion to reflect the social and employment changes which have


occurred since the club was founded almost 40 years ago. The club is now looking forward


to the future with renewed confi­ dence.


The new chairman, Eric Ronnan,


was iiatalled and he welcomed the new vice-chairman. Cliff Astin. The meeting concluded with a few words from the vice-president of the Rotary Club of Clitheroe, Graham Claydon, wishing the club every success in the forthcoming year, after which the members adjourned


for the annual meeting lunch at the town's Swan and Royal Hotel. Pictured, from the left: treasurer


John Hemingway, past chairman Peter Gamer, incoming vice chair­ man Cliff Astin, new chairman Eric Ronnan, and secretary Alan Daniels. The next meeting of Clitheroe


Probus Club will take place on April 1st, when David Harrison will talk about "SOE French Section". The meeting starts at 11 a.m. at the Pen­ dle Club on Lowergate. Telephone inquiries should he made to 01200 429207.

Tryfan proved interesting due to patches of ice and snow, which had accumulated on the rising shelf, the descent from the end of the terrace to the main path from Cwm Try- fan being particularly problematic. After gaining the pass some


members climbed Tryfan by its south ridge, while others kicked steps up a steep snow slope to reach the north east ridge of Glyder Each. Here, deep snow and strong


winds were encountered as the party passed the notable landmark of the Cantilever Rock bound for the jumble of spikes and blocks, which forms the mountain’s sum­ mit. Covered in curious patterns of


fluted ice, these looked reminiscent of a polar landscape in the gather­ ing mist, as the descent was made to the Castle of the Winds, where perversely a calm area for shelter was located in the lee of the crazed piimacles of rock.


Fleeting breaks in the cloud gave


excellent views of the Snowdon massif, Llyn Padam and Llanberis and the Menai Strait beyond. Reaching the pass of Bwlchy


Ddwy-Glyder members continued in alpine conditions to the next summit of Glyder Fawr before descending hard frozen, gravelling scree to the northwest to reach the ice-covered lake of Llyn-y-Cwn. A lengthy snow plod rising due


north brought members to the final summit of Y Gam where the curv­ ing ridge encircling the northern end of Cwm Clyd was descended to Llyn Idwal and Ogwen Cottage on the way back to the hut. In the evening a communal din­


ner organised by Paula and Mike Carter was enthusiastically received and all those who had helped with the preparation were warmly thanked for their efforts. On Sunday, a group enjoyed the


horseshoe round of the highest summits of the Cameddau Moun­ tains starting near the farm at Tal y Llyn Ogwen. Rising initially towards the tam


of Ffynnon Lloer, members scram­ bled up the ice-coated rocks of Pen yr Ole Wen’s east ridge, finishing up the narrow crest to the summit on firm, crusted snow, then continued northeast in bright, misty condi­ tions with deep snow underfoot along the main Carneddau ridge towards Camedd Dafydd, where a manmade wind-break provided temporary shelter while extra warm clothing was put on. Leaving the summit a sudden


break in the cloud provided views of the Black Ladders whose steep, icy crags tumbled away to the left.


and the Menai Strait beyond, as members proceeded in snow show­ ers on the steady trudge uphill to the wind-breaks and cairns of the mighty Carnedd Llewellyn. Here the group met a solo ice-


climber, complete with personal stereo for entertainment, who emerged from a gully to join in the lunch break, stating that he could assess the winter climbing condi­ tions in Snowdonia from his bed­ room window in north Liverpool. Taking a compass bearing to the


south east, members descended the icy dome to. thread their way through snow-fluted rocks to Craig yr Ysfa and then delicately down to a col where a slip would have led to an uncontrolled descent into Cwm Eigiau. Crossing the narrow ridge of the


col a final steep rock and snow ascent led to the summit of Penyrhelgi-du, where a gentle path to the south with excellent views of the very wintry looking Tryfan and the Glyders was followed to the track from the Ffynnon Llygwy reservoir, which led back to the main A5 road. Over the past month, various


members of Clitheroe Moun­ taineering Club have enjoyed some of the best ice- climbing conditions for years with visits to the icefalls on 111 Crags above Blea Water in the Lake District and to popular Scottish venues such as Beinn Udlaidh in Glen Orchy, Ben Nevis, Creag Meagaidh and the Cairn­ gorms.

Root out all your unwanted goods


PEOPLE in the Ribble Valley are being called upon to clear out any belongings they no longer want in aid of charity. Cancer Research UK is promoting the


campaign "clear out for cancer" and urging people to delve into their CD collections, bookshelves, lofts and wardrobes, to part with unwanted items.


“Most people are holding on to items they


never use,” says Judith Oldham, manager of the Castle Street shop, in Clitheroe. “Whether it’s an impulse buy that’s never


been worn, a toy or game that the kids have grown out of or an unwanted gift that’s still in its box, we’d love to get our hands on it. A typical bag of good quality clothing or home- ware is worth as much as £30 to us and that is money we can spend on finding new ways of preventing, treating and curing cancer.” Anyone wishing to make a donation can


leave items at the Cancer Research shop in Clitheroe between 9 a.m. and 4-30 p.m.
