For bouldering obviously

Particularly Carrock Fell and Gouther.

Ta!

Gouther's bit of a walk Fiend, and not the most friendly landings etc.  A bit of it takes seepage, although J Mascis etc shoulder be fine.

Carrock is quick drying so will be snow dependant.

Couple of inches of fresh snow in Hesket today so take a shovel and a yard brush if you go to Carrock. You might have a few problems with the road through Mungrisedale but it should still be passable if you take it easy. The weather is beautiful.

Just off to Trowbarrow now, so will let you know what its like round there.

A conditions report would be useful, Tanners, I may be able to head out tomorrow.  Have fun!

I suspect any snow on Shelterstone will be melting over the problems.

[GCW]

So do I, but if it melts off today it may just dry out l in the next day or two.   Just be helpful to know if a trip would be worthwhile.

[Richie Crouch]

Aye a trowbarrow update would be perfect, nice one.

[Adam Lincoln]

All faces are dry and Shelterstone, though snow on top. I cleaned top of Vitruvian for you though. Get to it!

Thanks for the headsup mate, but Pit Problem has been baking my noodle more than VM.  Bastard thing

top out to pit problem is snow free...

It's not the top out that's the issue, mate!!

Any updates on carrock fell (all areas including the mosedale boulders, fancy trying that new line) or the bowderstone (mainly, if all the ladder face holds are free of ice and if theres much seepage)?

Heading to keswick for a week on wednesday night.

Cheers, Ben

I was just going to ask that :D Good question...

Bowderstone is dry, no rime ice/frost or anything anywhere on the ladder face right up until the top lip. Crack was frosty and there were some 3inch icicles on the far left of the ladder face. Didn't think to have a proper look at the other side but it looked pretty good. Tip top conditions, great friction.

Unfortunately I'd come up with the wrong shoes

  Thanks adam and steve.

Little update.

Conditions were brill at the end of last week but just got worse and worse. On my way back today i firstly checked the bowderstone and i dont think there was a single dry hold on it which is a bit rare. Next went over to carrock fell mainly just for punks life because its great and a bit sheltered but that too was soaked. I think both areas will take quite a while to dry out.

[Dhanny]

thinking of heading south lakes way tomorrow, any chance of dryness? warton/trowbarrow? cheers

[GCW]

Raining today.

Is St. Bees likely to be ok this weekend?

(Assuming I've not got hold of the wrong end of the stick with the bird ban, looks to me like there's plenty of unbanned rock to go at)

thanks

It has been consistently dry over here in West Cumbria, so it should be fine. Just remember the recent landslip and go cautiously 

[Fiend]

Bumpity bump!

Would Gouther be in condition tomorrow / weekend??

[andy_e]

A report from various Scouse lids said the Bowderstone was wet and everything else was wet everywhere else. Don't know if that's of any use.

I reckon it should be ok there. Meant to be a lovely day tomorrow. We may be up there too.
