Maybe we could use this thread to keep each other informed of what we are doing. As Andrew says we should keep within the guidelines and use our judgement. He also says that rock climbing activities should be decided individually. I am in total agreement with these sentiments.
For myself, I initially did not go climbing even when the BMC said it was OK.
Recently, I have been to Peak Scar. There was no one there so as far as Covid was concerned I felt absolutely no worries- being out in York would have been far more dangerous as far as contracting or passing on the virus is concerned.
It would be interesting and useful if other members could make the effort and post here about their position. Have you been out? If so, did you go to a hotspot and did it feel safe? Are you intending to go out soon? Are you going to keep suspending activities for the foreseeable future? etc etc

I think this type of conversation is important to keep a sense of cohesion and friendliness alive within the club. We can’t meet on Thursdays at the moment so we should try to maintain contact at least virtually.

I hope you are all well.

Cheers

Obviously Andrew’s post just refers to YMC meets eg on a Thursday night.
Individuals can (if they wish) follow BMC guidelines and go climbing. If people do climb then they should do so in a “private” capacity and not imply that it is a club activity. Perhaps it would be best if they do not wear club T shirts.
As I have said previously I no longer want to debate the rights and wrongs of the committee view vs the BMC. For what it is worth I haven’t been climbing and still remain on the fence on the matter.
