FWIW there's only one Yorkshire venue suited to these conditions. I'll be headed there tomorrow if a tour is needed.

Is it the one i texted you from yesterday? Me and Arran will be out, could do with somewhere dry... A tour of somewhere new would be awesome?

Ok, aside from all the secret crag shizzle, is Caley viable for sunday..? It's main advantage being next to a road that won't be blocked/impassable...

There are no secret crags in Yorkshire.
I popped out to said venue today - superb.
My exhaust dropped off on the way and whilst using my chalk bag cord to re-secure it, could see a very cold and white looking caley boulders.

Care to share this info with us all then? Or is this a game of cloak and daggers?

Ok. As the radar shows it's snowing atm Caley is probably out for tomorrow. What is the name of the non secret in condition crag you have not told us about?

Whitehouses is the crag that is good in the snow.  Bits of Brimham, especially Happy Days block and Jokers wall (obvs) are good too, last winter:

Drove past on sunday night, rock was dry but anything vaguely slabby was covered. Probably changed since then though, not much help i know!

Went past on Monday night before the BMC in the Dyneley. All the slabby stuff was covered but some problems, after the top was brushed, were in the best condition they've been in all season.



In all honesty I reckon there will probably still be odd bits of potential but it will be the overhanging stuff that hasn't been exposed to oncoming wind (so a fairly thin selection!)
In contrast to Our Father's Arete, Not My Stile was totally plastered.
Topouts will need a thorough brushing but so long as its reasonably positive then topping out should be possible.

Is that a statement or a question?
