Just a heads up -- The Edinburgh University Mountaineering Club will be taking a few cars worth of new and experienced members to climb at Simonside this Saturday.
We will not be setting up top-ropes and will be sure to pack out all our rubbish and be respectful of the crag and of all who are there. If anyone might be there please don't hesitate to talk to us about things we can improve upon (or if you just want to chat!).
It sounds a friendly club from your post. Simonside is a lovely place but because of its altitude and exposure can be a cold damp place, especially at this time of year. Don’t put them off before they get started.
