  • Target Audience: This trip is open to Beginners-Expert who want a chill weekend of social climbing. Committee members will be around to help, however it's an unstructured trip so you will need to make your own fun. 

---- Trip Details ----

Well, Winspit Quarry (the filming location for Star Wars Andor) is unfortunately closed to both climbers and film makers due to unstable rock, however there is plenty more sport climbing available in the other nearby quarries, as well as the normal sea cliff trad that swanage is famous for! I have double checked and the Square and Compass is still open and still serving some of the best local Cider and Ale. It's a strongly recommended pitstop (and a short drunken walk from the campsite). 

You will need to bring normal camping gear including cooking/eating equipment. The red hot showers at the campsite are coin operated, so bring some spare change with you!  

For transport, I recommend using the discord channel (https://discord.gg/WG4BPHZpV6) to make arrangements. If you own a car, offering spare seats to other members will make the trip cheaper and help to save the planet. If you have a driver's license but no car I recommend grouping up and renting a car for the weekend.

---- Climbing Information ----

Swanage offers both Sport and Trad climbing, all within walking distance from the campsite. All the climbs are detailed on UKClimbing.com, I strongly recommend looking up these crags : Dancing Ledge, Hedbury, Subluminal and Boulder Ruckle. 

Bolt Fund Details: https://dorsetboltfund.co.uk/
Suggested Guidebook(s): Rockfax App or Dorset Rockfax https://rockfax.com/climbing-guides/books/dorset/

So with sea ledges full of Trad, quarries of Sport climbing and a pub full of epic cider, it offers something for everyone!

See you all in sunny Swanage! The Square and Compass comes HIGHLY recommended.
