Any one been to Two Tier / Embankment in the last few days? Thanks

[205Chris]

No, we headed in Chee Tor direction (don't bother) but we spoke to a team who reckoned there were big streaks on most stuff on two tier. Maybe the odd route climbable but it didn't sound good.

As mentioned in t'other thread the cornice will need some sort of miracle to dry out in the near future, especially the left hand end.

Thursday night embankment was completely soaked, but looked like it would dry in a couple of days if it caught some breeze.  Main two two tier wall had a lot of damp patches especially around why me? and Darl but aberration/minos were all dry.

Two Tier totally dry today, perfect conditions down there. Checked in on Cornice walking out. Still awful but if you were keen Jug Jockey looked just about doable...

[Eddies]

Can anyone give me an idea of connies down here recently?
Im planning to go this w/end and am aware that its been as wet as an otters pocket in Buxton the past week.

Today Two Tier and Long Wall were perfectly dry, not a single wet route. Quite surprising really with all the rain. Embankment also bone dry but the Nook was a bit grim as usual.

[Sidehaas]

Given the positive reports from the tor, I thought it worth resurrecting the chee dale thread for 2014
Anyone walked past two tier or embankment recently? 

[Blakey]

Anyone been down Cheedale over the last couple of days? If so would appreciate a condition report update for Two tier, max wall, cornice (I know the last one is optimistic!)
Thanks

Walked down there on Sunday 9th March, Two tier still seeping with only Sector minos looking dry from across the river at least. Open Gate and the 7a to the right looked dry. Max wall wet. Emabnkement was about 30% dry, Hungry eyes and the 6b were dry. After this weeks weather so far it should be much improved. Will be worth a look at the weekend.

was on embankment last night. all dry but really dusty and smeggy. cleaned up and climbed stone the loach and hungry eyes. both now in good nick. Forgot how good Stone the loach is! Two tier still lots of streaks as has max buttress. not far off though!

[Blakey]

Was also there yesterday:

Cornice - obviously still soaking

Max Wall - wet in parts but getting there, touched a few holds low down and still soapy

Two Tier - Loads of wet patches and sections, we were on Open Gate which was one of the only things that was dry. Very soapy and smeggy higher up to the point we sacked it off

Embankment - Saw the guy posted above climbing, seemed to be enjoying the sunshine.

[grimer]

Chee Tor is spotless.

[T_B]

Yeah, no soil in sight I bet 

[bigironhorse]

Embankment bone dry, few wet patches on max wall but everything looked climbable. Cleaned a few cobwebs of Max to the Wall. Didn't go across but two tier looked dry with a couple of streaks.

Embankment was great on Wednesday.

Is it likely to be okay still after yesterday's rain (and tonight's forecast)?

[Sidehaas]

It was good today. Gave SitC a good scrub, i think pretty much all the routes on the main section have been climbed this year now.
Looking across at two tier today,  the remaining big seepage patches from pockets that were there last week have continued to shrink,  but generally the rock looked slightly damp. Think the early evening sun probably helped it although there was another shower afterwards.

[James Malloch]

Any idea what two tier might be like tomorrow?

[bigironhorse]

Embankment good, max wall a bit wet, two tier goodish by the look of it (there were people on it).

[James Malloch]

Yeah two tier was good, worth a trip. Bit smeggy in places but most things seemed well climbable!

What day was this?

[Gallant]

Mal's post was Saturday related.

[Sidehaas]

Totally shot toda. Major new seepage lines, no dry routes on the embankment and the only ones that looked possibly ok on  two tier were darl, countdown and the celebration area. It's also now started raining heavily so will get worse yet.
 

[dave]

Walked under the Cornice today - its like a fucking waterfall.

Despite it being drenched there was still a huge tickmark visible on the lip of one of the routes right of Monumental - might have been jug jockey or last eggs before M1. So people, clean your fucking tickmarks off, cos mother nature ain't touching that shit.

[mr chaz]

Any updates greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Went 2tier sunday. Lots of seepage about, and sounds like it had got wetter from Saturday. A few things workable, but absolutely goddamn freezing. That said, a few days of the current weather should see it a lot drier. Embankment was mostly dry, except the 7c on the right looked mostly wet. No idea if cornice shaping up.
