get to tom's before midday and it's ok stay's in the shade till then. If your there after 1.oo ish best to head for the shade of the right hand side.

Got there on sunday afternoon.

There was the odd greasy hold but on a whole conditions seemed good.

great venue:great:

anyone been recently? am hoping to get up there soon..

Monolith · October 29, 2008, 07:23:02 pm

Out of season I know, but if anyone can give me a rewind as to present state of god's own crag, I'd be much obliged.

Worth noting that the pinch on beauty of being numb is no more.

GCW · November 04, 2008, 10:34:54 pm

Again? Where has it gone this time?

Couldn't possibly say

but it is currently sat in the velcro front compartment of a moon chalkbag. (Not my own i may add!)

GCW · November 04, 2008, 11:12:13 pm

Can it get stuck back on? Is it worth it, other than for me to do it on video?

Nice one on Pistol Whip- you get it on vid?

Yes i did. From quite far away though.

GCW · November 04, 2008, 11:27:36 pm

I look forward to it. You had it last time anyway. You just needed to man up, although it may have partly been Jim putting you off.

Richie Crouch · December 30, 2008, 08:20:49 pm

Is it Dry after this fine period of weather? Most importantly is art of dry

Saturday could see a lanky team of underachievers from Merseyside heading that way

GCW · December 30, 2008, 08:27:01 pm

I can't say for definite but it seeps for quite a while. Having said that, it's only 5 minutes from Trowbarrow and a bit more to Warton, so you may as well go and see.

nik at work · December 30, 2008, 08:36:00 pm

I'd agree with GCW. It might be dry, it might not. I'd be quite optimistic that reasonable amounts of it will be dry. And if not the Shelter Stone at Trowbarrow was all completely dry yesterday and I'd imagine Warton pinacle will be much the same if the weather holds. Plenty of good stuff to go at.

Richie Crouch · December 30, 2008, 09:05:48 pm

Yeah I might get dropped off at Trowbarrow anyway to get on Vitruvian Man and the Big G start, then go meet the others later on tbh. Might see you guys there if you are working on anything... Some working beta on Texas hold 'em wouldn't go amiss!

GCW · December 30, 2008, 09:27:16 pm

I may be up that way Tomorrow for a flying visit, so I'll look in if possible.
You don't need beta on Texas Hold 'Em, you just need lots of skin on your right knee.

Monolith · December 30, 2008, 10:54:02 pm

Fucks sake Ricardo. I thought I had a shit memory, but do you not remember that the tall gent doesn't need the knee? Unless you weren't there of course? In which case, sorry biatch.

GCW · December 31, 2008, 04:38:19 pm

Right Crouch, here's the low down.

Trowbarrow Went here today. Not the best conditions, being minus 4 degrees with freezing fog everywhere. I couldn't see Red Wall/Main wall from the Shelterstone!!
Vitruvian, Texas and Pit dry but felt very slimy due to conditions. Isla dry too, as was Shallow Groove. Low start for Pit should be OK. Generally good, should be fine in clear weather.
Red Wall- usual areas of seepage: Yin Yang wet, streak right of The Undercut Problem. Shallow Grave was climbable. Generally good, again shit atmospheric conditions.

Woodwell Had a look but didn't climb. Didn't go to WoR either, sorry.
BOBN- hold still missing. The broken hold is smaller and fairly positive. Bottom break and broken hold wet.
Closer etc starting holds wet.
AOSD- left undercut dry, all the others wet. Crimps and top dry. If you can do the first move off the left undercut it may be do-able $:-\$
WTF? dry apart from initial RH slot.
Slaves dry apart from seeping lower break.
Right side seeping from breaks/cracks.
Centre section- Not Bad Dave SDS dry, Whistler dry. Not too bad.

Have fun. I may be out on Saturday so I may come to watch and learn from les beasts au Scouse.

Richie Crouch · December 31, 2008, 07:55:52 pm

Awesome work my man! I am going out now with a reinforced sense of psyche for 09!

Should have some skin after 3 rest days too

Richie Crouch · January 08, 2009, 08:29:34 pm

It was not good today at either side of t'road, not good at all

Warton was similarly wet as well as the Shelter Stone at Trowbarrow. Red wall was climbable but very greasy. Humidity kills!

GCW · January 08, 2009, 09:04:37 pm

Could have told you that

Was there much seepage at Warton, specifically Debaser LH?

Richie Crouch · January 08, 2009, 09:28:50 pm

Just rocked up to look at Poison and Efix as I recognised them from the vids, not sure where debaser was sorry! Although scanning the plum buttress, the rest of it looked just similarly wet. Woodwell wasn't really seeping but very condensed, with bad humidity making it feel like a rain forest

GCW · January 08, 2009, 09:31:21 pm

Cheers. I think Warton will need a few days drying now. Woodwell will need longer.
May see you up there sometime, drop me a line if you're going (although I'm not free much for a couple of weeks).

Monolith · January 08, 2009, 10:40:51 pm

Super keen to know what nick o'ert will be in over the coming weeks GCW if you happen to pop in at any point and can lash a conditions report up. Merci beaucoup.

GCW · January 08, 2009, 11:01:02 pm

I doubt I'll be free for a while, but I'll certainly look in if I do get up there.

andy_e · March 05, 2009, 01:50:17 pm

Anyone got the 411?
