Got a problem at work so I'm not going to make it.  As you were.

Can anyone tell me if Three Blind Mice and Ali No Corrida are still highball-able?

I'd also be interested to know if there's much snow under No More Exuses, Nectar and Silk.

Ta.

Three blind mice was still possible on wednesday.

Ai No Corrida landing had deteriorated a lot when I was there about ten days ago, so probably not much better than normal ground by now.
I dare say NME will be fine, though you might need to fill the bergshrund a bit. If you go there you should also do Crew Pegs Diff. I also added a direct start to CPD which I think is easier, better and more logical than the original since that lost a hold.
Silk should still be ok, but getting longer by the day.

Wolf Solent is also a great solo if there's still snow underneath it.

NME maybe had 3-4ft of snow still underneath it, it's at the level of the boulder beneath CPD if that means anything to you.
Nectar similar, maybe slightly less.  Looked pretty too high to me.

Went up to Germ, etc, still buried up to half height. Exaltation round the corner looked a good bet for the snowball treatment with a few mats.

Still snow beneath Wolf Solent though that looks high too.

Bouldering height-
Trimming the Beard @Cleft wing buttress - this was E3 6a but is now a superb V3 with the snow rising up with you to keep it super safe.
Spearing the Bearded Clam -not quite so good but worth doing
Verandah buttress direct - good looking V7, now with a perfect landing- you'll never have it this good
Route Height
Plastic Dream, Tarzan Boy Verrandah Buttress, both down to V2 from E3, still highball but great climbing
.

These are great problems with good landings, couple of pads only required although more is nice on Plastic Dream.

Hello Nai,
Hope you had a good day - I spent 3 1/2 hours at Curabar and was wrecked when I left (could hardly pick up my bag!) so just stumbled home!

Cheers for the suggestions.

I've already soloed Spearing the Bearded Clam and led dogged Trimming the Beard in the past but NME, Crew Pegs Diffs and Exaltation all look good if there is sufficient snow under them tomorrow (and it isn't raining).

If I get up the Stanage I'll post an update.

On an unrelated note, anyone else get annoyed with 'oh so stylish' white on black blogs? I read them for a few minutes then I have it imprinted on my retinas for a while when I go back to a page like this. There is probably a 'protect my retinas' grease monkey script if I could be arsed to look for it.

[Paul B]

No... but if you do just use google reader, which is white on black.
