Just got back from the Eastern Edges

Ringinglow Road as far as Burbage North is passable, bit of snow on the ground but not much. Road from Burbage North over to Stanage popular end (past apparent north etc.) was pretty snowy (I managed it but I've got an Impreza  ) and the road past Stanage has a road closed sign on it. Road from the popular end down to Hathersage was pretty icy, wouldn't fancy driving up it.

If you want to get from Hathersage to Burbage I'd use the Fiddlers Elbow road rather than School lane if you see what I'm saying.

Higgar Tor was mostly dry for bouldering, didn't go to Burb North but saw a few people out with pads so there must be some dry bits.

Hope that all makes sense.

Just had a brief visit to a few venues on the eastern edges.....

Nice one on the update.

Now where did I see that video of Irish Si on Sole Power? Anyone know if it is on t'web?

[205Chris]

I believe it is, about 3:10.

Anyone got any Churnett conditions beta? I was thinking of heading there tomorrow...

Churnett was in fine nic last Sunday. Ousal,Cottage, Wrights, Gentleman's etc all good nic.

It snowed on and off but it didn't stop play. 

Good venue for snowey/drizzle days as its so roofy.

Cheers Rich. I'll probably head over there tomorrow and post up a report when I'm home.

went out this eve before dark witht the dog.
Apparent north buttress pretty ok, no snow drifts directly under it, top fairly clear. lip traverse bone dry.
Burbage north,20ft area getting lot of run off, bananna finger wet from run off and all stuff round there though someone trying all quite direct wich was dryish but had a cornice finish.
remergence loooked dryish but lot of snow on top of the crag so might get wet if sunny

Remergence was mostly wet from drips on to the slab.  The RH side was best and Blind Date may have been doable.  The LH side including The Hanging Rib and Remergence itself were wet.

I had a good check out of most of Burbage Valley today.

Remergence buttress was filth. The first overlap was dry but the second absolutely dripping. Also one of these drips lands straight on the starting hold for Blind Date so couldn't even play on that!

Burbage West was mixed. The Nostril was dry and so was Western Eyes. West Side Story was dry apart from the lowest sidepull and the two footholds at the start.

[Drew]

Just driven back from Hathersage over Burbage, into Sheffield (via Ringinglow), and while the roads weren't in perfect nick, they were passable. The in-car thermometer (ever reliable), was showing -4.5c!

[205Chris]

Update for Saturday afternoon:

Apart from the very left hand end, Remergence buttress is dry, certainly everything but the left arete problem is fine.

Piss / Shit etc. over at Higgar were dry and conditions were mint.

Roads all fine now.

Had a great day at the plantation. Most of the problems were dry this morning, but some did suffer this afternoon as the snow melted.
Ben Morton was quick to bag the Joker (a couple of times!) before it got soaked. there's goes one happy man.
Did anyone head further south? (curbar,baslow,rhs..) was it dry down there?

[cofe]

as expected, yeatswood was a pretty safe bet.

Curbar: Great White, bone but in sun until late afternoon so a little warm, seans arete bone but drips a pain! Ben's wall, wet streaks, mainly missing the holds, but annoying none the less. Didn't make it up to Walk on By, but it looked bone dry.

Burbage West: Western eyes bone, WSS bone, nose bone, nostril bone.....good nick mainly on everything.

[Falling Down]

Wrights Rock at the Churnett was in fine fettle yesterday.  We heared cottage rocks and gentlemans were in good nick too but didn't venture forth to verify.

[Jim]

I can't believe I'd sacked the peak off and the problem I most want to do is dry! (western eye's).
Off to the cave later so no problems there really

[Kingy]

Wright's Rock at the Churnet in fine nick today, it was snowing all the time I was there and was totally sheltered under the roofs. Nice range of grades here 7a-7b+, bit high in places mind, take loads of mats. Long pumpy traverse is good for basic stamina.

[dave]

road to burbage is pretty snowy at the mo, but passable. I wouldn't relish trying to get to the plantation at the moment though.

[stom]

Plantations completely soaked - went running there today and everythings got really heavy runoff.
