I saw four geese flying North today 

[andy_e]

Fear not, four swans flying east today.

Bump. Hit me with the knowledge. What will be good this weekend?? West-side from Widdop Scout Shipley to East-side Brimham maybe. Not interested in Almscliff nor other such festering pits of cuntitude tho. Ta x

[teestub]

Current forecast, whilst theoretically dry, is high humidity and low wind so it could be another clag fest.

Widdop will be a soaking, green, spooge-fest. Scout and Bridestones best bet in Calderdale, probably Buckstones as well. Depends on cloud level, if it's low everything will be wet. Same applies to Crookrise and all the high moors stuff around Barden and Slipstones. It does look like there's a chance the cloud might break though so may be worth chancing it, particularly further North.

Caley is in a dreadful state and has been pretty much all season. Brimham hasn't been much better and with the lingering dampness best avoided given the soft nature of the rock.

Sunday looks best; stronger breeze forecast.

[Fiend]

Yeah I was only thinking of the open bits of the Widdop boulders, not the edge. Brimham outliers were mint several days ago but I didn't dare try the edge for the same reason. Hmph.

[gollum]

Anything in Calderdale will be very claggu, if the view out of the window is anything to judge by

[teestub]

Yeah I was only thinking of the open bits of the Widdop boulders, not the edge.

Due to the boulders being in a bit of a dip and right next to the plantation they can be worse than the edge.

I was thinking of going to Baildon Wank tomorrow if you're psyched, Fiend. Mainly to look at Steve's Wall on the right hand end (there's another great highball there called Suggy's Wall), but there's other decent stuff to go at. Should be clearer tomorrow and there's a southerly wind to dry it.

[Johnny Brown]

Was considering Slipstones or the cliff so any reports appreciated. Wankfest down here.

[Fiend]

Baildon bouldering looked pretty decent when I recced it the other week. I'll have a think about it. I presume I'm forgiven for being an arse then!

[tomtom]

Lagers said ilkley is 💩

I’m there at the moment and it’s claggy. No idea for tomorrow. Needs some wind and the low cloud to shift etc.. etc...

I don't think there's any need to forgive. You're a cunt, I'm a cunt. I wouldn't change it for the world.

Are you still planning on Baildon? If so, mind if I join you? I'm also an arse but I can contribute mats and spotting for the highballs!

[Will Hunt]

Of course, that would be great. Not sure on timings yet but might be arriving around midday. Send me a message/I'll send you a message on Facebook to say which bit of the crag we're at.

[moose]

Coolio, I'll probably be there mid-morning, mooching around and warming up.  I'll be the person who who looks like me.

[Bradders]

Almscliff = soaking... even under Demon Wall Roof and Crusis. Bit of a breeze so might improve later but wouldn't hold my breath.

[Will Hunt]

Moose has been to Baildon. Damp in places but apparently possible to "eke out half a session".

[Fiend]

Fiend is at Baildon now. Might just sit in the car and crack one off.

It’s really shite weather isn’t it... I’m at Helsby and it’s all condensed out here. Fucking bollocks conditions. Can’t bear to go to the wall again.

[gollum]

Calderdale looks damp

[Fiend]

Moose still in-situ at Baildon. Even more cheerfully morose than usual. Cloud is lifting and breeze picking up.  I reckon 3/4 of a session is maybe more likely.

Never seen the Cliff so badly condensed. Temp rise + high humidity though so not that surprising. Doubt it'll dry today but probably good tomorrow.

[Will Hunt]

Did Almscliff come good in the end?

Baildon Bank was OK. 3 ascents of Who Are We. Fiend did his best to be a grouchy old grump but you could tell he was psyched. Moose inched his way up WAWWM in characteristically epoch-spanning style. It were great.

[moose]

True, I came away from the crag surprisingly stoked, considering I was tempted to walk away 10 minutes after arriving. I think of my climbing style as human glaciation - slowly eroding the rock down to my level.
