I'll be visiting a friend (a novice who mostly boulders indoors) in Ilkley this weekend.
I'll have my sport gear with me anyway for another trip, but was hoping to not bring any nuts/hexes (I don't own cams).
To setup some bottom/top ropes to give my friend his first taste of outdoor climbing:
- Are there anchors in Ilkley that can be setup with just slings / static line? Or should I just bring my trad gear?
- Which are the best beginner routes to run laps on?
- Or am I better off just heading for sport at Troller’s Gill or Giggleswick?
FYI I'm going by train, hence why I'd rather not carry all my nuts for one morning of building top rope anchors!
