There are lots of exciting things happening in the North Wales climbing scene at the moment. Mike Raine, the new chairman of the BMC Wales/Cymru committee is pushing forward some much needed changes via the BMC backed North Wales Climbing Action Group (NWCAG).

The latest project, a Tremadog crag clean up is just one aspect of the excellent work being carried out by NWCAG. Abseil belays have recently been replaced on Clogwyn y Grochan, and a re-equipping campaign on the Llandudno limestone is on the horizon. With the current re-bolting campaign in the Dinorwig Slate quarries, the climbing scene in North Wales is certainly in rude health. It is important that everybody in the local climbing scene gets involved. So, even if you’re only interested in the bouldering crags in North Wales, you should still come and have your say at the meetings. There is no reason why issues that affect boulderering venues can’t make it onto the agenda.

The next BMC Cymru meeting will be at 7.30pm on Tuesday 6th February at the Vaynol Arms in Nant Peris. Everybody is welcome; why not go along and make your voice heard.

Items for discussion are as follows:

• BMC Cymru North/South split

• AMI Request

• Youth Comp Dates

• Llanberis MRT Land Rover

• Tremadog Festival

• Tremadog Abseil Stations debate

• Open Forum/matters arising from newsletter

• This Year’s meetings dates
