Geckos Outdoors @ Hobson Moor 13th August 2011

It was a brilliant day with the Geckos on Saturday, with the weather holding out and even a few rays of sunshine later in the afternoon. We got loads of climbing done and finished off the day with an abseil. Thanks to everyone who came along. Check out all the pictures on the Geckos Flickr account.

Outdoor Climbing 18th June

It was mixed weather on our most recent outdoor day as the pictures show! We managed to get around 45 mins of climbing done before the heavens opened and we took shelter. Then there was a break for another 30 minutes or so before it rained again. After the second downpour we decided to go back to The Rope Race and finish off the day indoors. Check out the photo gallery for more pictures.

Geckos Outdoors at Windgather 1st June
