...and there it is.

Thought it's worth mentioning that the inevitable invasion on almscliff as the only sure-fire dry venue will be met with disappointment if you don't take a shovel. The lay-by has been used to push the snow clear of the road so parking is limited. There's a tele-handler that goes up and down from the farm so it's not enough to just leave space for one car to pass. Get digging.

At the cliff at the moment.. All good, a bit windy but sheltered up top by DWR etc.. All good for those after a Friday afternoon/eve fix..

Out of interest, how did the Pistol Whip platform bear up? I imagine its just the dregs left now. Did anyone actually get the problem done with the platform?

I've not looked there yet - might be a little left but yes - just dregs around the crag now. Parking pretty much normal.

[tomtom]

Not much platform left :/ about a mats worth..

And not too windy down bottom. Rock cold ish, T shirt weather. All is good

Whats the cliff like early morning at the moment? Working in meanwood at 10 and would like to get a seshwan in. Recon it will be worthwhile or are things likely to be damp?

[tomtom]

Recon it'll be mint. If there's wind (is there ever no wind there?) it'll be fine.

[dunnyg]

says a slight breeze, so probably will be. keen! Just go to get out of bed...

[tomtom]

I've been there when it's been enshrined in static windless clag and connies have been ace. Always worth a punt, the cliff, the worst that happens if it's log is that you get to work early!

[dunnyg]

Cheers, keen for it!

We went to the cliff yesterday and had a decent session. The weather is still looking a bit grim today so we will probably end up bouldering there again.

Or does anyone know of any other grit bouldering that might be worth a punt?

[tomtom]

Apparently there are some other crags in Yorkshire too!

[James Malloch]

Will these crags be dry today today though? I'm heading out in 30 mins and feel dolphin belly slapped out...

Forgive me, my crystal ball is being serviced at the moment.... It looks nice out here in Manchester...

Bits of them can be - depending upon the wind direction and amount/type of precipitation... see which way the wind (if there is any) is blowing vs the crag orientation.. exposed is generally quicker drying..

The Cliff is the quickest drying crag in the area..

Roads in Leeds are dry James, so I reckon so is the cliff

[James Malloch]

Cheers, i though there might be some other crags which might be in condition/reliably dry like almscliff. I've only really climbed at the cliff so have no idea what others are like and fancied a change.

Will probably end up back there again though given the outlook...

[tomtom]

Bits of Ilkley are quite weather resistant.. and its exposed (fastish drying etc..). But its Ilkley...

[Footwork]

Is yorkshire wet then? I thought it was all dry and was going to head out Brimham way

[James Malloch]

Everything was a bit damp earlier in meanwood... We decided before that we are heading to brimham ourselves and then will check out cliff/ilkley if it's wet.

Leaving now so drop me a text on 07821 493 947 if you want to know about brimham. Not sure how long it takes to get there though.

[Footwork]

Will do, cheers James!

[James Malloch]

C'est ne pas très Bon...

Can't see the crag from the car park and it's bloody soaked.

Can't see it drying today unless a lot of wind arrives.

[tomtom]

Merde! Beaucoup de clag?

[James Malloch]

Oui! Un grand amount!

My French is pretty terrible... But yeah, lots of fog, literally nothing dry, can't see the crag at all, my feet are now soaked, I'm going to the local pantry. Fuck this shit!

[James Malloch]

Also, extrapolating from this information. Everywhere is probably wet...

Be fun on a mountain bike though!
