Quote from: Will Hunt on May 02, 2017, 11:05:13 amCan't remember if I mentioned this, Mark, but if you go to try The Dark Ark or The Prodigal Sons (or any of the routes that don't get done that often) then take a bit of rope to ab down and give them a quick brush. As much as anything, on some of these Cheshire things you need to go down in advance and mark the holds as they can be quite difficult to tell apart from all the other little ripples and grooves in the rock from below.They are filthy at the moment - that quarry gets much less action/light/wind. Might even be worth brushing, going and having a cuppa for an hour or so to let any residual dampness under the crud disappate. Nice lines though..

Went over this morning. 1h30 mins from Sheffield if you go early enough to miss the traffic. No excuses for not having been before, what a crag! The main bit all dry and clean. Prodigal Sons was a bit damp in the break. The Dark Ark didn't need much of a clean, and it's now fully chalked, with a few red herrings for interest... Class problem
