Almscliffe.

Not that I'm the biggest fan of it...

[magpie]

But the company made up for that 

[GCW]

Since when was Almscliffe in the Eastern Peak? 

[magpie]

    

[Fiend]

Ummm yes. Well. It was somewhere that was in condition. As was evidenced by the massive amount of crushage going on 

[GCW]

I'm just jealous because you seem to have crushed today and tomorrow I'm going there to sit in the rain    Bloody weather.

minus ten was in fine nick on saturday.

[Zods Beard]

How's it looking over there, is it worth me going over the snake?

[tlr]

Dry at the moment in Hathersage. Roads are dry too, and its quite breezy.

Lots of greyish looking cloud though so rain wouldn't be a huge shock.

What's the knowledge regarding snow? In my experience, including today, everything still seems to get wet. Any guaranteed 'snow-proof' venues?

Depends not so much on snow per se, but the temperature (and sunlight) after snow, all a bit hit and miss, best to just check it out, countryside is always pretty covered in snow anyway.

Any guaranteed 'snow-proof' venues?

Seemed pretty bad generally today.  Didn't find any dry rock at Plantation around lunch time.  So headed to remergence block which was wetter than expected.  Arete problem soaking so hard to get warmed up.  Other bits dry - blind date/fig climbable by later in the afternoon (despite some idiot snowballing the blind fig sloper) .  West side story and other bits of west (breakfast, possibly famous grouse) looked dry from a distance but didn't walk over.  Oh, and the Promise looked in mint nick strangely.  All the rock seemed quite 'plastered' with snow, not just horizontal bits.  Going by the state of these, anyone any good tips for tmrw?

[Oli]

Yes, I had a quick drive around late morning and Burbage looked pretty gopping. In hindsight I should have thought about Remergence. Definitely alot of snow melt and plastered rock, like you say.
I'll probably try the Plantation, Burbage West or Remergence.

[Steve R]

Anyone know what the southern peak's like? any less snow down there?

[Johnny Brown]

the snow is only on high ground and ne facing crags have caught the most. staffs was in cloud most of yesterday but i daresay there'll be dry rock somewhere, clouds might be a good bet.

[Jim]

not a bad idea....

[Bonjoy]

Rivelin was fine yesterday bar the odd wet streak which had dried by the end of the day. No snow on the rock or ground.

[dave]
