whats push up?

It's an unnecessary name for the non-route that would be doing the start of the routes on the left and then stopping. They basically just mean "is the start of the routes on the left dry?"

haydn jones · June 24, 2015, 11:08:57 pm

Ahhhh, well, I've learnt something new about the tor...

Anyone know if the cave is dry after the rain the last few days?

bendavison · July 24, 2015, 10:09:03 pm

Not been since Tuesday, and was only on the RH-side, but it was the driest I've ever seen over there e.g. to the right of pinches wall, so will be surprised if its wet. It didn't rain that much in Sheff, not sure what it was like in the peak.

Was anyone there late this afternoon bouldering? The morning was absolutely terrible and condensed (a write off) but wondering if maybe it's improved during the day? Hoping for an early morning hit Sun.

abarro81 · October 31, 2015, 09:16:35 pm

Ethan did devo so must have been climbable... Rubicon was dry but apparently greasy.

My guess is the cave will still be gopping. All the slots on weedkiller were pretty wet at 4 ish, and people dabbling on bens roof appeared to be slipping off repeatedly, but they may have just been too weak of course.

Tommy · October 31, 2015, 10:39:46 pm

Ah bugger. Hmmm. Sounds bad. I kinda need the whole thing dry as I'll be falling off all over the place! Oh well, might do a optimistic check anyway and see what luck the lime gods bring me.

Fiend · October 31, 2015, 11:20:18 pm

Tommy there's a vile super-thin roof crack at Hornby Crags on the Orme, just around right of the Teal Wall, that needs your attention. Also someone call the grit ffs.

Call the grit? It was 19 degrees in Manchester yesterday afternoon. Take yourself outside and self administer 50 birch lashes man!

El Mocho · November 04, 2015, 06:02:00 pm

condensed today, was ok yesterday.

tomtom · November 05, 2015, 08:23:10 am

Bah humbug. Worth a trip up there today? Or is it likely to be condensed again.. (I know its raining/going to rain..)?
Guesses welcome...

TobyD · November 05, 2015, 10:09:21 am

will give you a better idea of what the weather's like around the lime (although they painted much the same picture this morning)

haydn jones · November 05, 2015, 06:04:11 pm

You should have at least braved the walk-in

danm · November 06, 2015, 11:17:36 am

Not that I want to go to the Tor, but if I did, I've noticed that there is a convenient and reliable way of checking connies without having to leave Sheffield. I simply look to see whether the Quill is drinking ale or a soft drink, if the latter then the crag is in nick.

Now if only I could monetise this somehow with an App......

Tommy · November 10, 2015, 11:40:50 pm

Anyone been in last couple of days? Particularly interested in the cave bouldering area.

Kingy · November 11, 2015, 12:20:05 am

The Cave was mint conditions tonight, all pretty much dry in the Cave apart from the back where Ben's Extension starts was a bit spoodgey but I'm sure you could fix that if you were psyched enough. Not much seepage to speak of, only runoff. I was trying Converter, the undercut on that was dry. The starting slot on Cave Stand was being dried with a chalk ball so not totally bone on that one. Worth a look!

Tommy · November 11, 2015, 12:49:30 am

Sheet. Really?! Back in business. I'm psyched....! I'd kind of written it off for the year. Better stop eating the mince pies again. Damn.
