Burbage South isn't in bad nick. there's still some snow on the boulders, but mostly it's dry. A bit cold today but not tragic, the edge looked pretty good, Attitude Inspector was dry and with good friction, unfortunately I was as weak as a kitten (and a soft weak one at that)

Rained heavily(-ish) overnight in Shefftown and all remnants of snow have disappeared from my street. Damp and overcast outside.

Still a lot of snow on the moors and edges, thawing slowly. Went for a walk at The Roaches, gopping would be an understatement.

Robin Hood's Stride was good in parts like round the spine arete and the cave was ok but other bits were quite green and damp and best avoided. Cratcliff was fine on the Razor Roof and top boulders, didn't go into the trees much but the egg was quite green hth.

Only one golden egg was laid today despite much effort tickling and teasing.

Visited Froggat today with Galpinos and Erm, Sam.  Most problems on the edge at Joe's Slab area, Pinnacle and Tody's playground dry.  It got better as the day progressed. Not great conditions but still great to get out on the real stuff.

There's no pleasing some people. The odd problem was damp, but friction on the whole was about as good as it gets.
