Cratcliffe etc conditions - central Peak

Couldn't find a previous thread.

Anyone been out? I was headed over on Sunday but there looked to be too much snow.

I was at RHS/Cratcliffe on Thursday, so likely some bits have changed since, but the info could still be useful.

Cave Problem was in condition bar one or two easily avoidable streaks of snowmelt. T Crack was surprisingly bone dry, Egg boulder also good. Jerry's Trav had some runoff going down the Lark bit unfortunately. Grizzly Arete and Dry Wit looked alright though the latter might've been moist where it gets green higher up. Razor Roof looked okay from a distance but didn't get close enough to say with confidence.

Stuff out of the trees was caked for the most part, but Ben's Wall and Spinal Slab were fine, so I think it was down to the direction of the snow, presumably northeasterly. Cratcliffe Crag itself looked dry from afar, catching all the sun.

Was there today, most stuff climbable bar Jerry's Arete. T Crack was prob a bit too damp but didn't attempt. Climbed for a few hours so plenty to do.
