Big Thank You
Transition Extreme would again like to extend its thanks to both Craigdon Mountain Sports and Berghaus for their generous support of last nights superb presentation from Leo Houlding. I think I speak for all of the 100 plus people who made it last night in saying it was a mesmerising and inspirational presentation. At times I felt like I was on the port a ledge with them!!!
A huge thank you goes to Leo himself for going well beyond the call of duty and sharing with us some of his more recent exploits paticularly those in Yosemite and the first free ascent of The Prophit. The A1 beauty pitch must rank as one of the most beatuful lines in the world?
Thank you also to everyone who made a donation to Transition Extreme last night after the show we raised £124. But remember its never too late to make a donation if like many last night you came away without any money we would be delighted for your support at anytime just drop off at reception.

Thanks to everyone who supported the Transition round of the Scottish Tooling Series at the weekend. Now we're back to normal - no more logs till next year...?

Leo Houlding at Transition!
We are delighted to confirm that LEO HOULDING will be coming to Transition next Monday 8th November at 8pm - easy to remember. Easy to afford too - the event will be FREE!
That's next Monday - clear your diary now!
Due to the generous support of Craigdon Mountain Sports and Berghaus we are able to offer this fantastic event absolutely free of charge.
Hear Leo talk about his latest adventures, watch some of his latest exploits on film and enjoy a question and answer session with one of the most prolific British climbers. I was just watching Hard Grit again the other day and couldn't believe how young he looked climbing End of the Affair E8 6c back in 1998 - amazing. I can't wait!
There will be a collection for Transition Extreme (Registered Charity SC 036358) during the talk - all donations welcome.
