Did anyone manage to climb in the Eastern Peak today ? (Read 50430 times)

Burbage West was good again today. Yesterday's wet streak on WSS had gone, and most stuff looked to be dry. Reputedly Breakfast and possibly Famous Grouse were dry too.
Remergence area was mostly dry but slightly damp in places, with everything climbable. There was some light but persistent rain before we left that made stuff damp, but it seemed to be drying again when we left.

There was a wet streak on Breakfast but all the crucial holds were dry, although it was too wet to top out.

Famous Grouse was pretty much unclimbable due to run off.

Western Eyes / WSS / The Nose all dry.

Sean's Arete at Curbar dry too.

Cratcliffe was streaky and it rained later. The cave at RHS was dry but muddy underfoot.

plantation was in poor nick. Green traverse and joker dry. That's it

The weather is absolute gash over here, may be another session at the power temple.

Drove out to Burbage at 10am. Loads of snow, thick mist and steady light drizzle. Can't imagine anything being dry.

fiveknuckle21 · February 15, 2009, 02:36:37 pm

Yer i've just got back from Burbage. North completely soaked, West suffering from a lot of run off besides Western Eyes which just looked damp. Piss/Shit soaked. Secret garden really soaked.

dave · February 15, 2009, 03:52:08 pm

eatswood was OK today, though getting damper from the moisture in the air as the day progressed. you're shit out of luck for routes though, unless you fancy a foolish lip.

Has anyone been to Burbage this morning. I'm thinking about throwing in the lectures and going up this afternoon. Any news is appreciated as it'd save me a trip. Cheers

Windy as F**K! Maybe take a weight belt to stay grounded.....

Dolly · March 09, 2009, 02:00:06 pm

Saw Ron at the Works this lunchtime.
He said its was very windy and rain blowing in

Bonjoy · March 09, 2009, 07:22:18 pm

Wind was not a problem at Rivelin

fiveknuckle21 · March 09, 2009, 07:50:39 pm

Just got back from Higgar and West. Was pretty alright although it was windy when walking between the two. Only thing that looked wet was the left side of Spartacus. Was starting to spit just as I got on the bus.

Does anyone know how the midges are doing at the moment? any recommendations on places to avoid them? ta

dave · June 01, 2009, 10:27:10 am

midges should be OK if you get in the wind. easterly/northeasterly at the moment.

rich d · June 01, 2009, 01:58:59 pm

was out earlier today at Burbage North and then onto South. Hardly any midges - just roasting.

I suppose it's the heat and not the midges I should be worried about then!

Thanks to a lack of interest in my Yorkshire lime request I thought I'd try the EP instead. I'm rather pleased I did too. Did the Terrace for the first time which was v.nice, then climbed the LH crack finish.
I'm sure you peak homies have run all over this bloc before, though JB's 7+8s has no mention of this variant so I thought I'd shout up as it climbs well and is worth noting.
Rather than taking the high slot with your lefthand, get it with your right, and make a powerful and insecure move to the good crack on the left, up which you finish.
If the terrace is hard 7c, then this is probably easy 7c, but then what would I know about grades?
Anyone else know what I'm talking about?

Johnny Brown · September 05, 2009, 11:05:33 pm

Have defo done the finish, don't think if it was from the deck though. Effort.

r-man · September 06, 2009, 02:29:28 am

Yeah, I saw someone on this once - he seemed to think he'd found an easier solution to the Terrace. It still looked tough though.

uptown · September 06, 2009, 09:14:05 am

Cheers JB - I thought you'd have messed on it before.

r-man - what, who, when? It is an easier solution to the terrace, and it is tough.

Ru - I know you're lurking, do you know it?
Can I throw down my Yeakie / Porkie trump card, claim the first claim and name it 'the terrace LH'?

dave · September 06, 2009, 06:44:31 pm

i've heard of it being done before too. Can't remember any details, sorry. Think terrace has also been done by getting slot with right hand and bailing all the way over for the top.

r-man · September 06, 2009, 10:28:09 pm

Sorry Uptown, I don't know who it was. Must have been about two years ago.
