Might as well start a thread while I'm asking, does anyone know if da Hill will be dry tomorrow?

[Richie Crouch]

Could be quite green as we have had wintery showers most of today. Pisa wall will be in good nick but Lady Jane will likely be green. The top outs may need some care! It could be glorious if we have a frosty night/morning but bring some brushes and plenty of chalk I reckon.

[mrjonathanr]

Went on Saturday, minging. Only Pisa wall climbable, everything else greasy, exuding green slime or both. Take a rope and a brush if you want to climb other than P. wall.

[BenF]

I can confirm that only Pisa Wall is climbable, but it is indeed in fantastic condition thanks to the very low temperatures.  Some donkey has managed to put a bit of mud on the starting footholds of lots of things, but it should clean off nicely.  As usual, it may feel a little greasy at first, but a few tries or a bit of gentle brushing on most tiny holds should bring them into condition.

[mrjonathanr]

Pisa Wall again only climbable, strange levels of moss elsewhere. Still, for aficionados, plenty of traversing available there.

Did two of the best highballs on Merseyside the other evening. But they weren't at Pex.

You're just teasing us...

Did you climb what you told me to go and climb?  I'm thinking big, high roofs.  Although these aren't really highballs are they?

[andy popp]

No and no - but I'd be SYKED to give that a try, Too many possibilities, not enough climbing. I nearly posted on YYFY simply for actually getting out on actual rock!

[BenF]

Give me a shout if you plan to manage another foray onto the rock.  I'm always keen to climb at Pex, saw Will there the other night before he headed to your board.  It was a bit damp but okay.  Likewise a wander along frodsham is always fun. 

[Monolith]

Ben and co., have you been over the last few days? How's the good lady jane doing?

[BenF]

It's totally bo mate.  Or at least it was on Saturday and it hasn't rained since although the increased temperatures may mean conditions aren't as wonderous as they were at the weekend.  Breakaway was mint, as was Catalepsy and even Monoblock was feeling good and just about possible one day.  Give it a little more dry weather and Staminade and Black Magic etc should be dry, if not exactly clean!

Take a yard brush and join the mission to scrub off our favourite bits of sandstone.  Lady Jane Wall needs a really good clean in places as the moss is starting to take the piss.

I can now agree with Andy re: these marvellous highballs.  Details to follow but one of the highballs that Andy alludes to is quite simply fantastic.  Many more to be done at this "new" venue too and sorry for teasing too much.

Did in fact rain here, on and off, for a couple of hours yesterday morning. But it was very light and shouldn't have had any real impact at all.

[Monolith]

Going to chance it Friday I think if anyone is keen. Have eaten 1500 calories in 2 days in preparation and I'm not kidding!
Ben do you maybe fancy it?

[Andy F]

What time you thinking Tom?

[Will Hunt]

Anyone want to hit it up tomorrow?
Will be able to go down till about 1.

[Richie Crouch]

Do you people not have jobs to go to??

Of course I bloody fancy it.  Unfortunately I am going to be in work.

That unique Widnes micro-climate again huh?

[Monolith]

Might try to head down around 1pm if it's possible Andy. Maybe meet in town first or something?

[Jaspersharpe]

the moss is starting to take the piss.

Can moss take the piss?

[GCW]

1kg of dry moss can absorb 26 litres of urine.  SCIENCE!

[Jaspersharpe]

Pex must stink then.

[Andy F]

Can only get there after school Tom, will be 4pm at the earliest

[Andy F]

It's no worse that the toilet end of Kilnsey
