Was at the 'other' end of Cratcliffe today. Some damp holds in Hueco Wall traverse, but mostly ok. Percy's Roof was pretty dirty too. Think I managed the 7A through piles of wet leaves. The 7A+ arete, and top of the 7B were covered in moss.

Tried T Crack on the way back too, (there was a large in situ group when we walked in), which felt dry, and sticky (still too hard), but it was caked in chalk when we got there. Even worse than normal.



We gave it a good scrub before and after trying it, but it didn't make much difference.

Well as part of that group that was trying it I can say that it was in the exact same condition when we arrived. No chalk was placed on the holds by any member of our group, other than normal transfer from hand to rock. Constant brushing before and after climbing and leaving it in as best a condition as possible. So, in effect, you made as much a contribution to any of the mess as any member of that large in situ group. Please refrain from any cowardly accusations and if you have a problem come and discuss it at the crag. I understand it might be easier for you to take a nice photo to show your friends, but I'm sure we could have had a perfectly amiable discussion. Good luck with the problem next time. If you need some beta perhaps come and ask.

And yet the implication that it was much worse than normal because there was a large in situ group, was present in his post.

[Drew]

I never suggested that the large group were to blame. In fact I even suggested that it's 'normal' state is chalk covered. I merely gave a short explaination as to why we went to Percy's roof (which seemingly no-one ever goes to).

[cofe]

It gets cleaned every season, but you'd be surprised how fast moss etc can grow back.

Well if there wasn't any intended correlation between you pointing out this large group, and you also stating that the chalk covering was worse than normal, then I apologise.

True. A common logical fallacy.

Will a trip over the pass be worth it tomorrow?

And to save a seperate post, will Nuda's Tartan be dry on Wednesday considering.g the rain will be coming?

Thanks

[weakdave]

we were at Nudas Tartan after we got rained off Rowtor the week. it seemed fine in the rain but it was my first and only visit there so cant say its always ok. Some great stuff there as well!

[Bonjoy]

It's been good in the rain for me too. Mist/drizzle will get it wet though.

Brightening up now, still a few showers but very windy so when the sun comes out most places should be ok hopefully

[Gritlad]

T'was good today at curbar, windy and cold. Too windy at baslow on top though guess flatworld would have been mint. Deteriorated in evening but still good.

[mark20]

Good conditions at the Plantation late this afternoon, not too windy though I didn't venture up to the edge proper. Then the wind died down and it felt quite mild

[Drew]

Too windy at baslow on top though...

Don't suppose you know whether there are currently puddles under the Eagle stone?

walked past eagle stone yesterday evening. Generally pretty wet underneath, some big puddles

[Drew]

Thought as much. Cheers.

[Zods Beard]

Is it worth a trip over? Looks pretty abysmal on the Outside webcam.

[slackline]

No, gopping in S1, misty and drizzly and no doubt worse up in the Peak.

[Zods Beard]

Nice one Slackers, saved me a trip.

[205Chris]

Only went as far as Burbage but it's looking pretty grim at the moment for anyone who was thinking of heading out.

[Gritlad]

Curbar was very good today,cold and windy, got no hail or rain at all.
