Anyone been recently, know what its like?

[Bonjoy]

The bouldering was totally dry yesterday. The crag looked dry too.

[mrjonathanr]

Whilst a little late, can confirm very good condns Thursday evening - so the crag likely to be dry by now I'd think.

[Zods Beard]

Cheers!

Anybody been recently?  Not too green after rain?  Wind is promising.

[paul hesketh]

most of the boulders will be dry today, it last rained yesterday morning at wimberry

[Rice Boy]

Thanks. Planning to go Sunday if the weather holds.

[cofe]

anyone been up in the last day or two? I appreciate it's nobbed it down this morning, but just wondered generally...

[BenF]

it's nobbed it down

That's a great turn of phrase.  Nice one.

[Johnny Brown]

I wouldn't go anywhere near it for a while word.

[cofe]

why? Is lee there?

[dave]

I wouldn't go anywhere near it for a while word.

what about a courtesy flush?

[Johnny Brown]

Lee is in font thankfully. Though I don't think he climbs on rock in the uk anymore. Certainly not at wimberry - too many painful memories.

[Zods Beard]

Anyone been recently, wondering if its worth me going after work

[cofe]

it's been pretty dry out for a while. i'd say it's worth a shot. i'm considering it for tomorrow.

[a dense loner]

think slap happys pretty photogenic word

[Johnny Brown]

I reckon the new guide should only have photos of Slap Happy. Shot only on a D3. With additional lighting. It'll be a new paradigm.

[Zods Beard]

All good tonight, even Winsome was in good nick.

I'm visiting Stockport for the day tomorrow and was hoping to get some bouldering in. Never been to Wimberry but heard good things, is there any chance that there will be any non-snowy boulders and will approach be ok? Or should I be thinking about going elsewhere? Thanks.

Its north facing, and Manchester has a sprinkling of snow (5-10 cm a few days ago) but not got above freezing for a few days.. I suspect it'll be OK - but snow on top and maybe in some breaks - take a big brush. Not sure about access - as the car park and small road up to it is steepish in places... but it is a well used dogging spot car park...

[Grubes]

BBC is saying the A635 is open so should be able to get there.
Make sure you pay in the car park as you get a ticket and you will have to pay the fine (issued by oldham council). Think its about £1 (60p for 3 hours).

[sjw]

Thanks very much

the car park and small road up to it is steepish in places

Hopefully I wont have a repeat of last week when I got half way up a hill, hit ice and 360'd back down it into a tree

I might be being a tad optimistic here but I don't know the crag well so, what are chances of it being dry this weekend?  Possible or will it still be a slimy green mess even though the forecast is good?
Thanks muchly.

Thanks muchly.

what routes do you want to get on? id imagine the cracks will be slimey in the back, but the wall/slabs of charm/pinball wizard may well be fine.

Wimberry has been greener than I have seen it this year (from the boulders not done the walk in as I thought it would be a waste of time).
The weather has put off a lot of people off this year so the summer traffic and the locals on cleaning missions has been less than previous years.

Its been drizzling all week until today in hudds. It was raining this morning, clear skys and suns out at the min.

You may be able to climb there but abbing and cleaning first might be recommended.

Also it will be completely brassic
