Might be iffy. Then again, certain slopers will be kept in good condition.

Fingers crossed for tomorrow otherwise there will be a couple of grumpy people sheltering under Underhand.

Were about 10mins off Almscliff now and it's like the height of Scottish summer, i don't know what you're all moaning about. There's big bits of blue sky and everything.

Yep, good this afternoon, bad tomorrow. Check out the prayer flags underneath Jess' whilst you're there - someone must need spiritual help with the crux.

Hurrah!

I may borrow the prayer flags to wear as a scarf, see if they help me get up anything.

If we could have an early morning Sunday report also please Mr Guru sir? I feel confident you will then receive your long overdue knighthood..

Here's your early afternoon Sunday report Nik - I'm sure you'll be at the cliff already though. Dry since 9, very, very, very (did I say very?) breezy - so good flavours if you take some pegs for the mats. I'm not after a knighthood, yet to be a forum hero like you........................

Got there at 9:30, left at 13:00 when it started raining heavily.
Very windy it was, but oddly conditions weren't great.

UTG, I can only apologise- I didn't do that Morrell's traverse properly as it was wet.  Please don't set the Cliff Beta Filth on my trail.  I'll do it ASAP, Sir.

Can anyone give me a conditions report for the cliff today? I have a vague notion that I may head over that way, or I may just stay here and drink coffee....

Blue skies here. Other than that I couldn't tell you if it was cold or windy because I've been stuck in a building all day.

Shouldn't listen to Andi - it rained as soon as he posted. However, it's now looking good for the rest of the day, and I shall be cliff wise later Nik if you wanna join me.

Will try and get out but currently in the midst of an angry child drama which may scupper plans.
Kids ey?

You need a 'naughty' cellar. Similar to the naughty corner or naughty step but colder, darker and a fuck load more effective. No more anger guaranteed. Now, to convince the Mrs to send me to the naughty shed. Wtih a naughty cold one.

I hear your Mrs and offspring were keen to climb on Sunday but it was a bit cold for you :)
Possibly cliff-ward bound on Wednesday if you are free and fancy it?

Do fancy, not free though. ::) Mon/Wed/(sometimes Fri) are my babysitting nights(Is it still called b.sitting if they're  your own). I only need another 7 tiger tokens and I can either have a weekend day outside, or a toaster. :boohoo:

It was great until my friend dislocated & fractured his ankle. If you've got a smaller pad stacked on a larger pad make sure you don't hit the edge of the smaller pad.

Savage man, I was down at South Cave so I saw him being hobbled down the field to the gate, poor bloke, is he OK?

As good as he can be I guess. Needs an operation on it.

Man thats rough. Saw someone getting carted down the hill on a bouldering mat but didnt know it was that bad. Was it the Matterhorn Arete? Hope he's better soon.
