Jb the cave IS the best climbing there is period. i am considering ski touring across the snake tomorrow in order to get a sesh in on thursday.

[Monolith]

OK people. I'm sat in the study at Gambier Terrace overlooking Clwyd out to the Orme. Here's your conditions cam from this very moment....



Getting heavier and heavier.

[Richie Crouch]

Has Jennerator upgraded from Aigburth to Gambia now then?! Looks like a fine location.

Might have to come over and see if there are any last great lines to go in the Cathedral grounds 

back on topic

The cave is an amazing place to climb in... which helps build technique, strength, fitness and features many great moves you are unlikely to find elsewhere in the UK. There is nothing eliminate about the main lines as everything goes through a line of least resistance.

It might not be font but I prefer climbing in the cave to the peak  (apart from Rotherham and Churnet!)

[Jim]

what have I started?  ???

I love the cave, as well as I love bouldering on grit / sandstone etc... however you will not get strong climbing on the grit. As the other thread demonstrates, people like being strong
I ain't about to go and purchase £££££ worth of ice climbing gear that I can't afford nor have space to store so I can go and enjoy the best winter conditions ever. I'm going to try for the cave tomorrow. Hopefully get to broughton this evening as well

[Davo]

Tried to get to Cave today but snow came in and forced a sharp retreat to Liverpool. Snow was sticking on coast road (A55). Still snowing now. I would be wary about heading over...

Climbing to get strong rather than the other way round. I admire your candour Jim.

[Jim]

why do you think I weigh so much?

[Bonjoy]

You like the taste of pies and beer? 

[Doylo]

Well that miserable sod seems to have buggered off so back on topic. Was chilly and a bit wet damp up front today but we had a good session down at the back.

[Jim]

excellent, hope the 55 is passable tomorrow and the cave stays dryish

[Doylo]

if it doesn't snow again you'll be fine

[Jim]

after a pitiful display at the wall I doubt I can even muster the psych to climb again this week.
being a dad again is knackering

[chummer]

  Fuckin'ell lads, just read through that last page and it was fuckin handbags at dawn, who gives a shit if J.B hates the cave and some people only boulder and some like doing pull ups on sticks when it's wintery, fuckin peak grit, pointless sport climbin blah de fuckin blah, stop gettin all uptight and bitchy and just get on with your own shit and be happy for those being happy doing their shit, who really gives a shit? Jeeeeesus. Cheesy and slightly late rant over

[Johnny Brown]

Winding these guys up is too easy.

[Doylo]

He started it 
Would of been good today but i didn't get my brain transplant in time

[Andy F]

Can you get out along the drive without 4WD?

[youngy]

[BenF]

if ur up early enough chris let us know the conditions please

Yeah Chris, if you could get up at dawn every day and head down the cave to check conditions I'm sure it would be appreciated. 

[dobbin]

I ain't about to go and purchase £££££ worth of ice climbing gear that I can't afford nor have space to store so I can go and enjoy the best winter conditions ever.

Maybe you should sell one of your seven axes?

[Johnny Brown]

 

[Doylo]

[Richie Crouch]

How does she fare!

[Davo]

Pretty dry today. Some seepage on outside right section but not much. Generally good nick.

[fatneck]

Same again tonight but properly baltic. So difficult trying to maintain warmth during rest periods, bring on the spring!

[Doylo]
