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...

Glen ok but not the best as its warming up this aft and feels a bit muggy damp. The usual ticks are all dry , vim, Red Baron , Parker . Save it for a promo day if it's your first visit unless your up here anyway

[Duncan campbell]

Ended up there anyway and had a great day most stuff seemed in pretty good nick and got more than I expected done.

A great crag which is the perfect height too. Particular highlights were mansons wall, phill wall and Red Baron.

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

Also a green evolve shoe on the wall next to the parking.

Chalk bag still under demon wall unless anyone collected it later on.

Good work... I fell with distressing consequences from Phil's Wall on Sunday (a fun Monday filled with X-rays, hastily arranged GP appointments, blood tests....).  Still, I should be back there as soon as my foot stops hurting.  How do you finish it - I was gaining the RH mono, LH to a poor crimp (level with a crimp on Manson's), rocking up and bumping the RH to a crimp around 12" above.... and then running out of ideas and sliding down the wall.  Presumably the break out to the RHS, near the arete is the target, but how?  I am now understandably a little wary about trying to just pull hard, smear and slap!

[Will Hunt]

The crux is the right foot smear I find. Stand onto that, shit left hand crimp, snatch right hand up which I think is good isn't it? Once you've got your right hand up I think it should be all over.

Cheers, I can't recall seeing an obvious smear - though it was all a bit damp and unclimbed looking that day.  Bugger that it's a "snatch"... given the state of my ankle I might wait until other people are there with additional pads before trying again... or at least until it is reassuringly ticked-up!

recent video beta for Phil's Wall

[Will Hunt]

Anyone got bright ideas for tomorrow? East is supposed to have nice weather, so obviously Almscliff will be in nick. Would rather avoid that if possible. Any idea what the roads are like up to nidderdale? Been sleet and snow all day here today and not sure if it's stuck up there.

[andy_e]

I'd also appreciate Nidderdale road condition beta please!

[Will Hunt]

Nowhere looks too bad on here:

Think I will give it a try.

Was physically turned back from Brimham. Cleared the hill from Summerbridge with little problem and just a smidge of wheelspin. Got across the death crossroad. Just before the car park there is a slight rise and this was too much. Car slid back in a full skid, did a complete 180 and ended up facing up back down the hill. Took it as a sign and went to the Depot.

My sister FB'd a very snowy looking picture from Ilkley...

[Footwork]

complete weekend right off

Did the same as Will, 3 point skid after death cross road and turned back first in mouth going down the death hill.

Cliff was black and blue

Get snow tyres guys! Gtit is not worth trashing your car and potentially yourself for. Or carry a bucket full of sand and a small shovel in the boot, only takes a minute to get some down.

[groovedog]

Is there much snow up Caley, Almscliffe, Brimham.

I fear the peak will be fairly wet this weekend?

Looks nice out there doesnt it!

I'd put money on something at the Cliff being dry... Demon Wall roof area doesnt take much/any seepage and normally dries fast...

[dobbin]

Presuming you can get up to it of course!

One of the routes up is normally clearer so the milk tanker can get through..

[dobbin]

ah ok - do you know which that is? i am very tempted to go and look later, but from what the metoffice tells me it could start (50% prob) raining at 1500 - which is when i would be going...

[tomtom]

I think it's the road opposite the station - the one that doubles back (when coming from Leeds) - that's certainly the gentlest up to the end of the houses...

[tomtom]

I suspect roads'll be fine now anyway...

I gather the one through the village is generally the better if the roads are bad (Strait Lane I think). Basically, avoid Gravelly Hill Lane.

That's what I meant

[Wood FT]

Anyone care to hazard a guess as to what state Caley's in, specifically the Psycho boulder? The forecast looks great tomorrow and I have no idea what the melt scene is like over yonder.

Cheers

[Johnny Brown]

Fucked I'd imagine. Anyone for Earl?
