Pretty much a write off at the moment. I'm keen to get back on the right side if it dries again so if anyone is nearby please please please drop in and report back on conditions.

Walked past yesterday - utterly totally fucked. An actual stream running down the crag. Quite disappointing really, but at least the crag looks good.

Anyone been down the 'Dale yet this year?  Embankment / Two Tier / Max Wall conditions report please.

Anyone been down the 'Dale yet this year?  Embankment / Two Tier / Max Wall conditions report please.

I was at Embankment on Wednesday with Falling Down popping my Chee Dale cherry. All seemed bone dry. People on Hungry Eyes, Stone the Loach, Mind of a Turbot and Sturgeon.

Get down there!

[Falling Down]

Like Galpinos said, Two Tier, Embankment, Max's and Two Tier (apart from the roof at the LH) are all dry.

Like Galpinos say's Two Tier, Embankment, Max's and Two Tier (apart from the roof at the LH) are all dry. 

I see Two Tier is so dry they named it twice.

I'm very interested in the condition of The Cornice and the Ogre wall on Chee Tor if anyone has been or is going down that end of the dale.

Can't help with Ogre wall I'm afraid but took a walk below the Cornice this afternoon and it's still looking very wet.

Monumental area still soaking and will take some cleaning when dry to bring back in condition. Clarion call area and further right along the cornice was dry in places but still not really climbable.

Here's hoping for a better summer than the last 2 years.

[groovedog]

how long does it usually take for parts of cheedale to dry after these past few days and next few day of rain??

would it be likely to be ok at the weekend?

cheers

You want to do Boobs Jon, that'll dry much quicker and give you your face-climbing fix.

[Andy F]

Anyone know what Two Tier/The Embankment will be like after the recent rain? Seepy/non-seepy? May possibly head over this weekend for a change of scene.

Had a wander down there today -  Two Tier, Embankment & Max's  all dry.      Cornice - Everything right of R'n'P dry (R'n'P itself looked dry, except the start).

Also for Bonjoy      The Ogre had just a small wet patch on it - from across the river it looked well climbable.  Don't quote me on that though! 

[Dolly]

Was the right hand side of Two Tier dry as well ?  ie Spizz Energy side

[JC]

As far as i could see it all looked bone.

[Dolly]

OK cheers

Nice one JC. Give me a PM if you fancy going down there soon (I get lots of days off midweek now BTW). I'm keen to get back on my proj and the Ogre.

Was at the embankment yesterday afternoon in between the downpours.  There are bits of seepage starting to show through on Stone the Loach and Sturgeon. Looking across the river the Spizz/Spazz area was seeping heavily and the break in the upper tier of two was seepy.  With the forecast looking very mixed for the week it's likely to get wetter... 

[Jerry Morefat]

I was down cheedale yesterday. Stone the loach and sturgeon both had a lot of seepage on them. The whole of the embankment had a lot of run off. Two tier was far better better however. Pretty much everything from entree to quality control was dry, although quality control and the routes to the right were very wet at the top. The left hand section of sector nadin was dry, although the right hand part had a lot of seepage on it.

[Kingy]

2 Tier and the embankment were largely dry on sunday bar the odd spoodgey pocket so probably even better by now. The only wet routes were Lightweight and Nogads/Blockhead but I imagine even they might be OK now.

[Norton Sharley]

Yesterday two tier was covered in small but significant patches of wet but they were drying up in the day.  Embankment left side, Stone the Loach etc, also had wet patches.  Nadin and Long wall were the same.  Max was dry. 

After today's sun they might be dry.

[Kingy]

I was on Stone the Loach on sunday and every hold on the route was dry despite the wet patch low down - it didn't interfere with any of the holds.

[Norton Sharley]

well there you go, looks can be deceptive 

[Falling Down]

Embankment pretty much all dry tonight.  Touches of dampness on some holds around the break on various routes but nothing to worry about.

[Falling Down]

Me and Martin walked down to the Cornice this morning. It's still wet but the RHS for Mandy, Cordless etc. looked almost climbable; the 7a trio in the middle weere getting there but will need a few days yet.  That Was The River, Snails etc were running with water but the roofs at the LH weren't dripping and looking promising.

Nettle Butttress, Two Tier, Max's and Embankment all dry with lots of routes cleaned and seeing ascents.
