The Great Gift Rock Climbs
The aim of this meet is for members to collectively climb on a crag on each of the 12 Summits of the Great Gift.
Following on from the centenary of the dedication of the plaque on Great Gable and the climbing of the 12 summits gifted by the FRCC to the National Trust in 1924 this meet looks to getting attendees climbing on as many crags on these 12 summits and at least climbing on one crags on each of the 12 summits.

Venue: As in 2024 would look to stay in the three huts – Brackenclose, Birkness and Salving House and go out from the there or link across. Needless to say need liaison as to who is planning on doing what and what has been done. Also look to a party from each hut climbing a route on one of the Great Gable crags, over the weekend, to draw the meet together.
Date: 6th – 8th June 2025
Co-ordinators: Overall and at Salving House – Ron Kenyon, At Brackenclose – Mark Scott, At Birkness – Dave Dixon ?
