Meets are also held elsewhere in the UK and abroad. The group was formed by people who enjoy climbing in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere with like-minded companions.
Members are mature climbers both men and women.
There is an emphasis on regular commitment to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to climb together and to get to know each other. Meets are held on alternate Sundays all year. During the summer the group meets on Wednesday evenings in the Peak. The HPCG is affiliated to the BMC and members of the group automatically have BMC membership.
