Harmers, Tuesday morning?
July 21, 2013, 05:24:13 pm
Completely mercenary post: anyone want to lend a pad and a spot at Harmers early Tuesday morning?

Over the last couple of weeks I've spend a lot of time scrubbing decades worth of mud and slime from a line up the centre of the back wall of the roadside quarry. Its going to be a 3* highball but hasn't been climbable until now (I got high on it the week when it still wasn't really clean/dry). Trouble is I go on holiday for two weeks on Wed, early Tuesday morning is my only window but could do with an extra pad. Might all be moot as rain is possible on Tues anyway ...

Mindful of everything said in the Grand Canyon thread, if I don't get a chance this week, can people not get on it. Its been a mini epic to prep and I'm only away two weeks.

I wondered what that line was on Saturday when I dropped for a quick blast on a few things. Looks lovely. Best of luck on it. Jamie

There'll be three of us there in about an hour... I know it's Monday.

How early tomorrow Andy?

Harmers is only 15min from work for me, and i could get away with a 10am start at work if it's any help?

I can supply 4 extra pads...

It was wet. There appears to face been a fairly heavy and quite localised shower. Some dry lines in both quarries but I'm afraid your project was soggy to above 1/3 height.

Thanks clm, to be honest it wasn't actually clean and dry - just climbable. So it may not have got that much worse. Thanks Ally, really appreciate that. I could probably be there just before 9, so it might work. Depending on the weather. Can you pm  me your number and I can let you know in the morning if I'm going. Thanks again.

I saw a shower on the radar early this AM over Runcorn and wondered if it scored a direct hit! I expect it'll dry off by now if it doesn't get any more rain overnight.

Sorry I can't be about to help Andy. Work and wedding stuff :(
