Anyone know how this great stone is condition wise? Want to head up this weekend as it looks nice but after all this rain is just going to be ruined? Any info would be great!

Cheers

It is still gopping I'm afraid. There is snow on the tops and it was chilly this morning.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Have you been today? Definitely not worth it? A friend phoned someone at Needle Sports in Keswick and they said it could be ok tomorrow? Is Carrock fell worth the drive?

It's actually getting out really nice now but I'd be very worried about seepage at the Styan as it has been constant rain for two days pretty much.

Went wednesday eve. Was horrible, bottom half sweating out all foot holds and sits wet. However according to 8a, its seen some action today, having said that those problems were kind dry on wednesday as well!

I also drove from Yorkshire and its a painfully long drive for it to be wet, apparently all limestone in S Lakes is also in bad cons!

Not bad this evening, some dampness about and a few drips off some top holds but generally ok. Backside has usual small puddle and pretty muddy. nice breeze coming through so no midges!

Was ok yesterday, bottom of the Bowderiser was damp as usual. Most other stuff on the Ladder face was dry.

Now then, anyone know what sort of state she'll be in tomorrow?
Is it cold enough that the last few days worth of snow will still be frozen or has it warmed up enough to thaw and start dripping?

Does anyone know if the stone is under two foot of snow and surrounded by an inch of ice or climbable?

Looks dry at ground level on these http://www.keswick.org/visitor-information/weather/webcams/ but with it being above freezing over there today, I'd say there was a fair chance of it being a drippy mess!

I was there on Wednesday, it was absolutely mint. Everything was bone dry. We had a small smattering of rain last night but its been dry today so should be fine.
