Nice one.you just saved me a four hr round trip.

Johnny Brown · January 28, 2012, 05:16:34 pm

Very damp first thing but the sun did its work to leave the Eastern Edges mostly mint by sunset. Very little snow on the rock, though still some dampness in the shade. Looking good for tomorrow.

I thought it was ok at burbage south this evening. It was a bit damp in places but was drying quite well. Had dropped to just below freezing as I was leaving. By the way got home and realised I've left my gloves (northface black, bit knackered ski gloves) next to the side of the dog, left after 4 today. If anyone picks them up give me a pm. Cheers Rich

I did - all fine. no snow on the ground once you got to Stoney. Roads all 100% fine...

Not much more than an inch on Stanage. Kinder looked whiter but I'm surprised the Snake isn't passable.

I came over A6 and Stoney etc.. No problems whatsoever.

Zods Beard · January 28, 2012, 08:48:10 pm

Nice.

The Sausage · January 29, 2012, 08:10:50 am

Anyone at the Plantation yesterday? Was it all pretty dry or much run off? How about Jerry's Trav? It often has a bit of a streak down it.

Somebody's Fool · January 29, 2012, 08:16:15 am

It was still damp last thing yesterday. In the absence of any sun today, I suspect it will be a no go.

dave · January 29, 2012, 09:31:02 am

All very cold and overcast on eastern crags this morning. Mist in the hope valley etc. Had a look at higgar...leaning block looked dry, eastside bouldering wet/green.

OffshoreAndy · January 30, 2012, 08:33:22 pm

It started off a bit damp but by the end of the day plantation was dry and friction awesome.

Johnny Brown · January 30, 2012, 09:34:46 pm

Ditto at Burbage North. There's been plenty of good nick the last few days, though shadier stuff can be very green.

Gritlad · January 30, 2012, 09:42:25 pm

Burbage south was alright today, a few things damp/green (Life assurance, Pebble Mill, few others) . Nosferatu and others were pretty dry. would say that trellis would be damp

Gritlad · January 30, 2012, 10:40:04 pm

infact does anyone fancy getting some pads to froggatt pinnacle tomorrow afternoon? need to do Narcissus and Mint 400.

Gritlad · February 01, 2012, 06:27:54 pm

froggatt was good today, got abit warm though, not much breeze but on top of the crag there was a nice blowing of wind, chilly in the wind.

Plattsy · February 01, 2012, 06:33:22 pm

Burbage West was mint today. Cold and difficult to warm up as it was catching the wind. Some icicles and run off here and there but generally great.
Burbage bridge good too except Mermaid start hold typically wet and a snow patch on the top of Rocket Man. North was warmer as the wind was coming over the top. Probably same tomorrow by the looks of it.
Secret Garden all gravy except Zaff's which even though there were a few small icicles under the lip and fading dampness on the wall might have been ok for the sufficiently strong.

Gritlad · February 04, 2012, 05:33:19 pm

froggatt was good again today, cold. then the snow came and plastered everything.

mark20 · February 05, 2012, 05:43:24 pm

Stanage Apparent North was surprisingly snow free today. No snow on top, just a few wet streaks here and there. Burbage N looked similar. Road out from Ringinglow was OK, and getting better. The bit down to the Popular End car park looked a bit snowier so didn't try but plenty of 4x4s went down there, and might well be OK.

Plattsy · February 07, 2012, 05:47:27 pm

Secret Garden was wet except for Nigel's problem which seemed ok. No topping out though.
Burbage West and North were fine where there was no run off. Clag came in around 3pm and turned things a bit glassy I thought. Should be alright tomorrow if it stays dry tonight.

Zods Beard · February 07, 2012, 06:12:25 pm

Stanage was good today. All the roads were clear right up to the Plantation.

The right hand side looked fine on the way past, most things dry at the Plantation.

Gritlad · February 07, 2012, 06:40:03 pm

burbage south boulders were dry today even in the clag. lots of the main stuff dry, maybe abit glassy on a few things.
tomorrow looks set to be a pretty good day

Gritlad · February 08, 2012, 07:08:15 pm

incase anyone is bothered, cratcliffe was in good nick today, cold and dry. same with RHS.
