went this evening

Bens Roof dry

anything involving slots or pockets incredibly damp and slippy.

[The Sausage]

Anybody been down today/yesterday? How was staminaband/powerband looking?
Cheers, joe

[dave]

according to dobbin's blog/twitter:

Tor looking pretty good. PB fh's wet but climbable, claggy. Rubicon v.dry. Ground = excellent

[monkey boy]

Aye foot holds not ideal but its definately climbable

[Three Nine]

Do people think the tor will be ok sat? (i am  mostly interested in Weedkiller trav)?

[Paul B]

EVerything seemed fine this evening although the crag turned into a radiator as the temps dropped off.

On a side note; after Smitton got his clips nicked I was a little surprised to see two other routes (apart from Mecca) completely equipped, is this not getting a little untidy and possibly tempting fate yet again?

[dave]

yes it is untidy, people should not be leaving clips in at the tor, even mecca.

[fiveknuckle21]

Bouldering all dry today except a bit of dampness on powerband footholds.

[Ru]

Everything was good yesterday. French wad Pierre Bollinger was there, getting his crush on.

[dave]

it was presumably him that was trying your 8b thing on thursday then. Can he get us any free champagne?

[Kingy]

I think he did it, there were certainly some impressive power roars coming from that end of the crag!

[Ru]

He did it on Saturday before I got there, using the same sequence. He also thought it was 8b+, but that might just be Foreigner-at-the-Tor syndrome. His draws are now in Evolution but he split a tip on Saturday, so I don't really rate his chances. I hope I'm wrong.

[cofe]

still in good nick today. bollinger in situ again, dunno what he was trying.

I don't know the guy, but have an idea he probably wasn't sieging Sardine. Which begs the question: who would dog up a hard route to knowingly steal the 'draws? As a beneficiary of all the draws left in BMachine/Prow (by what's is name?) it seems antisocial at best. Surely part of the appeal of our sport is also the informal camaraderie?

[Serpico]

What're the the chances of Ben's roof/anything being dry today? 

[dave]

it was all dry yesterday so the odds are favourable.

[Falling Down]

It's been raining really hard here (15 mins away) since the early hours and windy so there might be dampness at the more exposed bits but you should be OK where there's shelter.

[Kingy]

Ben's Roof should be a safe bet, although I'm sure other stuff should be dry as well.

Ok Jasper, got that. I suppose you could get draws out of Evolution etc with a stick clip and some determination.
Climbers who steal from other climbers are a pain.
On a happier note, thanks to Stone whose name I've just remembered for his public-spirited equipping of several routes w/ draws.
And no, I don't think it looks a mess, it's a sports crag FFS, not a site of outstanding natural beauty. Unless you're a boulderer.

[dave]

it's a sports crag FFS

I'm sure that'll make every bit of difference to the walkers or fishermen.

There should be no draws left in this crag. period.

Don't know how far it extends, but further down Millers Dale is an SSSI

[Falling Down]

There should be no draws left in this any crag. period.

 

It's just not difficult to dog up something to put the draws in.

[Johnny Brown]

Its pretty much the entire valley.

As a walker myself, I'd like to know why you sport climbers can't bloody well clean your act up. Its a fucking disgrace.

Ok, point taken. Do you really think it's that much of an eyesore?
I'll enlist some help in that case
