Yeah, wouldn't go slapping for the ledge on ai no corrida though!
Mint 400 will be fine. Might need abit of work on the landing but should be dry

was narcissus dry or was it getting dripped on?
Oh, Shine On had a platform built but there was still a good amount of snow around the high break. needs brushing off on ab then it will be dry for sunday but will obviously take longer to dry if not brushed off. cemetery waits was dry and had a bit of a landing.

3 blind mice and ai no corrida were in mint condition.

So was superstition.

Looked at Neferiti. Landing is good, but massive Cornice needs knocking off.

Has superstition been repeated yet?

What about snowball potential on the promise or living in oxford?

As far as I know Superstition is unrepeated. When I was digging the platform on Monday I reckoned the Promise might barely even be highball. Living in Oxford wasn't really above the drift, but there was a lot in the gully - Puck was buried.

From the other thread:

Ringinglow ok, road from hathersage to stagnate blocked, other road up to bbge n from near millstone ok. Road from bbge to stanage ok, but single lane due to high sides of snow in many places. If you are forced to the sides to let vehicles pass you need to be able to drive on the snow. Stanage road ok from popular end down to the corner, then you really needed a high clearance car to get round the corner to the plantation car park. Might be ok but still snowy. We had snow tyres on.

I ab'd down shine on to brush it as best I could, and built the platform underneath (well actually I made my girlfriend do most the digging).

Also tried to make a platform under boys will be boys although it'll still be quite high

There's plenty to be had, just hope it stays cold enough not to seep too much.

For those coming from the West, just to confirm still road wise, you can't drive up from Hathersage to Hook's car still, for some ridiculous reason the plough spent all afternoon clearing the road, but left a 2m wide drift (is this the Sheffield boundary?).  The Bamford road is fully blocked.  I've got snow tyres, but you won't need them as where it's clear, it's clear.

Reeve, assuming that was you I skied past yesterday then...

A friend has apparently cleared the snow from the top of The Promise, so it should dry out tomorrow I would've thought.

Fucking hell... I've been in work since things have dried up, and I only have Tuesday off! So much to get on!!!

Shine on and cemetery waits had a good platform today. So did Black car burning, and Stanage without Oxygen.

Anyone know what stuff at Curbar is in?

No, the road between Burbage and Stanage is fine. The only blocked roads yesterday were North Lees and the direct approach to High Neb from hathersage.
