Does anyone have an update on two tier/ embankment after the rain over the last few days? I'll be around for one day only and hope to put Celebration to bed (Nadin area)

Anyone?

I was on two tier on Tuesday. Orange Sunshine and Why me were dry. Didndt get a close look at secteur simon but i saw it had a wet streak down it. Cant remember whether it would have affected celebration

On the enbankment, stone the loach to bream in black was dry, but sturgeon looked wet.

Other areas were wet, ie the nook and nettle butress.

Excellent, sounds like i'll get a good session in regardless. Thanks for the reply.

leeroy · April 12, 2012, 06:38:58 pm

Cornice - Truly gopping. Although I know nothing about the harder stuff it was dripping almost the full length. I was after the 7a's so had a go at the end ones at the furthest right which were climbable.

Chee Tor - Dry stuff at the right. Middle had wet streaks, didn't look at the left.

Didn't look at anything else. There was some folks on plum buttress too though

Anyone been past lately know how embankment/two tier is looking after this weeks downpour?!

Cheers

I had a walk down there on tues. Everything was very wet apart from Embankment. Which I think you could have climbed on only having to content with the odd wet patch.

Two tier was covered in wet streaks. Max's wall was a bit drier than two tier.

cheers for the update, rekon it must all be looking pretty soggy now after the last 2days....tomorrow might be a tad optimistic!

J_duds · May 12, 2012, 09:11:59 pm

Has anyone been down that can report on crag conditions?

Cheers

Went down yesterday afternoon, lost of seepage points but both embankment, Max and two teir were all drying as the day went on. Climbers were on Maxs and embankment. If stays dry(?) then it should be good soon...

Wood FT · May 14, 2012, 02:04:30 pm

that's good news, thanks. I will assume the cornice/chee tor are dead?

AB · May 19, 2012, 06:15:52 pm

Headed max's wall on thursday, pretty much every route had a little bit of seepage somewhere on it. Checked out the cornice and was absolutely gopping apart from the far right hand side which looked like it was starting to dry. Weird to think this time last year it was nearly totally dry.

kingholmesy · May 19, 2012, 10:41:15 pm

Embankment dry apart from Sturgeon. Lots of wets patches on lower Two Tier but stuff climbable. Sirplum dry!

Wil · May 20, 2012, 04:59:13 pm

(From Saturday 19th) Max Wall still seepy on most routes somewhere, but getting close. Two Tier has wet patches, Open Gate looked ok, a team did Darl. Daylight wet and wet at the top of QC. Celebration was ok, a tiny bit of moisture coming from the back of a couple of crimps. The starts of many things on Nadin buttress were damp.

T_B · May 23, 2012, 08:23:03 am

Easy stuff on the Embankment was dry.

Two Tier drying up nicely - Why Me/Orange Sunshine/Daylight Robbery/Celebration/Aberration/Spazz Energy all dry. Some wet pockets and patches elsewhere. Midges though!

leeroy · May 24, 2012, 12:20:02 pm

as of above

Nook looking drier but will need another few days, and nettle buttress was very nearly there (ok at the weekend). Maxs pretty much dry, some tiny wet patches.

Potash · May 25, 2012, 08:25:58 am

Last night Secteur Nadin looked totally dry. It was however hotter than the sun!

Two tier lower was mostly dry with the odd seepage spot. It was also marginality less hot than the Secter Nadin.

Max Wall was climbable if one was determined to climb.

Dicker · May 25, 2012, 01:07:26 pm

Any one know if Pedigree Chum is dry (monster traverse @ Dog's Dinner Butress)??

leeroy · May 25, 2012, 04:41:51 pm

it looked slightly wet in the middle last night. mostly dry though.

Sidehaas · May 28, 2012, 10:43:57 pm

As of Sunday, Embankment was bone dry, Two Tier almost all dry (a few wet streaks but not many. We did Open Gate and Systems Malfunction, there was some mud in the crack under the roof on the latter but the holds were all ok.) Max's looked dry as far as I could see. Both Max's and Two Tier had a good amount of traffic. A mate walked along past the cornice and said he thought it was drying well...maybe another week of dry weather would do it, although the forecast suggests its not going to stay like it has been.

Ru · May 28, 2012, 11:03:38 pm

As an aside, what are the bolted routes in the roof above the stepping stones right of Max's wall? New bolts, tick marks on the holds.

Paul B · May 28, 2012, 11:35:05 pm

has anyone been over to Chee Tor by any chance?
