Katy Whittaker:
International competition climber since 1999.


Peak District Caving Web Site: We've funded the running costs of the Peak District Caving web site since 1999. This resource site provides everything from local news and access arrangements to free downloadable cave guides.

Local Cave Exploration: Every year we give away 400m of caving rope, 200m to the 'dry' cavers and 200m to the cave divers, who find the most new cave within the Peak District between January 1st and Descember 31st.

Derbyshire Cave Rescue Organisation: We provide DCRO with caving and rescue equipment "at cost" to help reduce the expence of equipment replacement. All profits from our sales of the CCPC Rigging Guide go to DCRO. We've also supplied them with four hand held two-way radios free of charge. DCRO have 24 hour access to our hire lamps, diving cylinders and stock equipment.

Derbyshire Caving Association: We support the DCA for their efforts representing cavers, their involvement in negotiating and maintaining access to land and caves, and the equipping of popular caves with long-lasting resin rock anchors. We've undertaken to supply the DCA with rock anchors as required, free of charge.
