Very dense fog overnight in Otley and over the chevin = damp conditions at caley. It has lifted now but I wouldn't have thought it worth a look. I would probably go to almscliffe (again); I expect the cold will keep most people at home in front of the fire

Was about to head down on a whim. Might still go and take a walk failing it.

I wouldn't want to top out. Blockbuster should be dry I would have thought, but can't imagine much else. It'd be hard to warm up properly.
Thick mist over the Chevin this morning, so conditions won't be too clever

Has anyone been on Terry this week? Or would anyone like to take a punt on whether or not it will have a big wet streak on it tonight? Heading out in half an hour...

I went to the crag in the end. It was wholly dry, but conditions were a bit weird. I didn't have greasy or wet fingers, but it showed up my paw prints as ugly black marks. No wind, cold, I guess with high humidity.

Was at Caley this afternoon, although left as it started to hail very softly... The rock was clean and dry and the friction was fantastic. Chalk and no seepage at all on ben's groove, secret seventh, blockbuster etc. Did confessions of a specimen hunter, never seen it before despite having walked past it loads! Will try and seek out two squirrels next I reckon.

Anyone been since the latest snow?

Might nip down tonight and brush the worst off a few topouts and holds and see how it is tomorrow.

Turns out I was on stay at home Dad duties last night and this morning so haven't been over.

Cracking morning Guiseley way though. I imagine there will be plenty in at Caley depending on snow melt.

Anyone been at the crag end today? Was thinking of dropping by tomorrow and doing a circuit of the usual stuff; the pinch, horn, flapjack, two squirrels etc..

Was there on Friday. Horn should be OK. We brushed the snow off 2S but not sure if it will be in condition yet. Pinch was taking heavy drainage all over the holds. Don't think we walked past Flapjack. Roadside will be nice but if you want to go to Crag then I'd suggest that some stuff will be in and some won't.

Was there yesterday, very muddy underfoot but most of the rock was dry with excellent friction. New Jerusalem was wet from seepage but everything else we came across was good.

Was at the Crag boulders on Wednesday, some things were climbable but quite a bit of snow around still..

The Pinch, Horn, Pine Tree Arete, Two Squirrels, Creme Egg bloc and Sugarloaf were dry. Pedestal Arete was climbable bar the top out.

Some stuff was completely soaked including Mr Smooth, Flapjack Traverse.

Didn't climb at the Roadside but that looked a lot drier.

Conds were a bit weird generally..
