HUMS Tie-Dye Social! 🔄👕🎨

Last week our members with white HUMS tees got the opportunity to tie-dye them from scratch! We had a variety of different patterns made, all of which were absolutely stunning!

Thanks to all who came, you made it a fantastic event :)

Once again blessed by the weather we headed out to Stanage Edge for some further outdoor climbing practice! 🧗‍♂️

Under the guidance of our HUMS expert Seb, we improved important anchor building and gear placement skills on the road to full-on trad climbing!

Huge thanks to all who came out, there was a strong positive attitude and great vibes throughout the entire day :)

Some amazing views on our most recent HUMS 10 mile hike in Castleton (Peak District) hosted by our amazing walking secretary George! ⛰️

This amazing route included numerous famous features including The Great Ridge, Mam Tor, The Broken Road and Winnat’s Pass. 🥾

Thanks to all who came despite the wildly fluctuating weather! :)
