Steve Crow reports on his website that Mary Jenner has climbed 'Bleed in Hell' E8 6c.

Steve reports :- "Despite seeping holds and blustery conditions, Mary Jenner has climbed the Borrowdale test piece Bleed in Hell.. The stunning arête of Hell's Wall was first climbed in 1992 by Mary's husband Dave Birkett and remained unrepeated for 7 years. Mary's ascent is the first female ascent of any E8 in the Lakes, it is an outstanding achievement. Dave Birkett on congratulating his wife said "Well done Mary, awesome effort. That's it, I don't need to come back to Hells Wall ever again!".

In the same afternoon Karin Magog and Steve Crowe climbed Inferno E7 6c.

On Saturday 13th of March, the British Universities & Colleges Sport climbing championships was held at the Climbing Works in Sheffield.

Newcastle University's team won the championship for the first time in the University's history which ended years of Sheffield domination.

The Newcastle A team (Chris Graham, Nigel Callender and Rosie Shaw) saw off tough competition to win the event, with Nigel also taking individual gold after a tough climb off between himself and Andy Shanks from Edinburgh University.

With a strong performance from Newcastle B team (Karl Wood, Oliver Warlow and Polly Harmer) the future of climbing at Newcastle looks very bright indeed.

A big congratulations to the NUMC from the NMC!
