Yeah, woodhouse was pretty good nick in places today, so thats allways a bail out option. Not 100% where yet though. Maybe the fog will be low...

[Will Hunt]

Mwis reckons the tops will "almost certainly" be clear tomorrow with excellent visibility.

Word

[hstmoore]

almscliffe has been fine over the past few days, only a tiny bit of snow on the ground. rest of the area seems much the same

[willackers]

Caley was pretty damp today but there were a handful of problems that were dry and climbable. Should be better tomorrow.

Some idiots had covered Scary Canary in chalk to try and dry it off, it looked a right mess 

[tommytwotone]

As per the above - not that this will be news to anyone but Almscliff was great today, though western side of the crag was looking as shady and green as you'd expect. I went in up Gravelly Hill Lane which was fine apart from one icy patch where the shadows meant it hadn't caught the sun.


Only issue was the walk-in through the field, that was pretty muddy / slippery - probably as a result of every climber in the north having been there!

[Fiend]

Anyone from Brimham area?

[tommytwotone]

Saw Peewee of this parish today and he described it on his visit yesterday as "a bit drippy"...sounds like it'd be fine by now.

[peewee]

at Brimham anything that didn't top out seemed ok untill the runoff from the melting snow started. Im guessing after no more snow and another day of sun it should be ok by now.

[Fiend]

It's a plan B for Tue if Rivelin is fucked, Castle Rock / Rotifer area....hmmm...

[mark20]

Slipstones was fine today

[dunnyg]

Woodhouse glorious, (as allways), cows mouth grim, stuck in heavy freezing fog

[Fiend]

Definite fog/sun divide. Driving in from M6 to Skipton, anything in fog patches was foul, anything with a hint of sun looked good. Snow only East of Skipton, plus some up on Crookrise etc but that seemed to be above the cloud. Dovestones looked good. Hunter Stones good on the sunny faces, fucked on shady ones due to melt. Hunter's Roof well chalked. Recced Brimham by headtorch, lots of snow on shady ledges but S-facing stuff looked fairly decent. Pair In A Cubicle looked mint and I suspect other low-level problems would be good.

crookrise was mingin today, except barry kingsize. The fly was dry until the snow started melting into the pocket.

[AlistairB]

Almscliff unsurprisingly fine today, good conditions in the sun. The field was frozen enough to avoid sinking too much too which is always nice.

Saw 8-10 people at Caley on my way too, didn't look that appealing to my eye but there were people at New Jerusalem and the usual stuff around Forked Lightning. Looked mostly clear of snow but definite wetness and greeness on quite a bit of stuff.

Didn't bother looking in on Ilkley but there's still fairly uniform snow on the moors and they were blanketed with nice thick freezing fog most of today so probably safe to assume it's not good up there.

Spoke to some guys who'd been at Brimham this morning and found stuff to go at but very cold apparently.

[Footwork]

Was at Caley after 7pm, fair amount of green gop but Crystal method all dry (maybe not the last hold but we never found out!)

[Duncan campbell]

Forgive my total ignorance, but how green/wet/Ming is psycho?

Would bleddy love to do that!

Having never been to caley I am well keen to get there... Any point having a first visit anytime soon or should I wait a bit?

[Footwork]

Psycho is green/damp and 'orrible right now The whole slab is wrecked. I'd say wait a bit to go at the minute, haven't seen what the main crag is like but I expect just as green. Do you live locally?

[Duncan campbell]

Live in Sheffield so no rush. Cheers for the heads up!

[tomtom]

Widdop bad according to Fatnecks Twitter feed...

[Duncan campbell]

Anyone know how Shipley glen is?

Looks to be Ming in peak tomorrow but have done a fair bit at the cliff so be good to go somewhere new...

[fatneck]

Widdop was umclimbable but I believe Scout Hut Crag was sound and saw a team head up to Scout Crag and not come down so maybe that was sound too...

[Will Hunt]

I live very close by to the glen and the weather these past couple of days has been good and dry. It gets afternoon sun and the trees will be bare, so id say a good chance of it being dry. If that fails then Baildon would probably make a good alternative that id expect to be definitely dry -more exposed and more southerly aspect I think.
And then if they're shit then there is definitely stuff at Caley roadside in nick at the moment

[James Malloch]

Not that it needs saying, but almscliff is pretty mint now with a nice wind blowing in. Few bits damp on the backs of boulders (morrells etc).

Also no one else here

Chalk bag left under demon wall also.

[tommytwotone]

Just checked and thankfully, this time it's not mine!
