Did Ai no this morning at about 9am. The platform only just extends far enough now. I suspect it will b e5 by Tuesday given the current temps.

Bugger... Ok cheers

Shine On platform getting lower and a bit collapsy, but had 4 ascents. Hot in the sun though. If anyone picked up my 5.10 velcros (either size 5 or 5.5, can't remember which), I'd be grateful if you could PM me, thanks.

Had a walk up High Neb side of Stanage today. Lots still to do up there. Sorted a good platform under Exaltation. Looks mint. Will be on it tomorrow.

jonjon · April 06, 2013, 08:01:25 pm

Out early tomorrow, anyone heading to Black Car Burning?

Johnny Brown · April 06, 2013, 08:20:09 pm

I'd be keen for that. Shouldn't you be at John Lewis?

Did you park at the Cutthroat bridge end? Just wondering if it would be quicker, or knee deep snow crawling coming in from there tomorrow morning?

We built a huge platform under Chip Shop Brawl this afternoon, should last a while.
Crew Pegs Diffs, Embarresment & No More Excuses all still have good landings.
Slap and Spittle has a good landing too.
We built a big platform under New York / Sir Chilled, cleaned the scrittle, but it was taking run off as we walked back this evening

Heard a rumor that simbas pride had been platformed, anyone know if there's any truth in it?

willackers · April 06, 2013, 10:29:33 pm

Had a couple of ascents today that I know of. Still think its pretty high though

Nan · April 06, 2013, 10:53:50 pm

Seen a few photos now, looks like you need a big team with lots of pads. Nice work on the landings!

monkey boy · April 06, 2013, 10:57:48 pm

The platform is not massive on Simbas. You need a good few pads too!

r-man · April 07, 2013, 01:33:04 am

Flippin 'eck, that looked scary!

Kingy · April 07, 2013, 09:45:53 am

mark s · April 07, 2013, 11:31:43 am

Twop twip; boulderers or anyone after ego E points to boost their ukc logbook get out there soon,its going to be a warm one.

remus · April 07, 2013, 11:43:44 am

Any opinions on if there'll be anything left by tomorrow? Not too bothered about specific problems, just fancy some general snow enhanced fun.

Bonjoy · April 07, 2013, 07:33:39 pm

Aye, still tonnes of snow below High Neb and further left. Melt wasn't too bad today as it was cool and cloudy.

Yeah High Neb was mint today. Just cool enough. Exaltation is a real good one for some qual which is a bit different.

Fiend · April 07, 2013, 09:05:45 pm

Quail? Bit early for them surely.

Nan · April 07, 2013, 10:13:58 pm

Lots of things up at high neb and stanage end in order, Fate, Typhoon Direct, Wolf Solent, No More Excuses, Embarrassment of Riches, Crew Pegs Diff, Slap 'n Spittle, Turtle Power, Exaltation, New York, New York / Sir Chilled and Chip Shop Brawl all have decent landings. Get them while you can!

Kingy · April 07, 2013, 10:26:05 pm

Black car burning had 4 ascents today, spent an hour consolidating the platform, it is now back up to scratch....for now

AlistairB · April 07, 2013, 10:36:43 pm

Put in some decent shovel-work on Shine On, platform now extends further right which should stop people missing pads / sliding away on them. Could maybe do with extending back a little but fine with a spotter, I tested it well today! Still plenty of snow for future repairs. Cemetry Waits landing is still fine as well.

White Wand & Ulysses platforms both fine too and now low enough to do all the proper moves. Archangel / Don are both a bit knackered but fixable pretty quick with a shovel if anyone wants to.
