I dare say it has a few good days in it left this year. Seepage hasn't really started on it yet. You just need to get there after a good westerly and hope there hasn't been any overnight fog. I am heading there Weds arvo, but forecast looks a bit 50/50. Next weekend looks a washout sadly.

Niice! It does seem to have come good now. I'll be there Sunday I reckon. It's in the Manifold valley BTW, next door to Dovedale.

Took yest afternoon off to go bolt a new one. West wind was blowing and the cave was in as good a nick as it has been all year. No sign of any fresh seepage yet either. Also the place was pleasantly quite now the kids have gone back to school.
 Am watching the weather carefully and could end up going for either weekend day.

Yesterday's activities.

7c+ ballpark. Have not placed lowest bolt to avoid anyone trying. Please don't let Huffy anywhere near this one, cheers. Should hopefully get it done this weekend.

I have to struggle with Paintshop when in work mode unfortunately, it's a very blunt tool.
 Cheers.

Did you boys get out to the cave on Sun?
 Was there Sat. Crag was in top nick, but the cold wind was a bit biting. Managed project. 7c+ but haven't got name yet. Well pleased with it.
 Working on a topo at the minute, will post up later.

Genius, loving your interpretation Derv. Trust Huffy to be into Parkour, bet he's already in one of those gangs that hang out in gyms jumping onto crash pads and shouting RAD at each other!

Would love to be in the cave, but have got to go to Manchester on Saturday night, so will be unlikely to be not hungover/up for action on sunday. Am keen to get there at some stage, just not this weekend.

I don't think boulderers have much right to take the piss out of Parkour :lol:

Dave Graham at the climbing wall?

It's ok Parkour is a newer, less established activity than bouldering, so we are well within our rights to take the piss out of it  :wink:
