Too warm at the 'cliff according to GCW. Uncall that shit!

Sounds like excuses for failure to me  ;)

Not at all  :whistle:

Tim?  Saw Stubbs at the Cliff, then Jordan at Ilkley.
I got there at 11, it was cold and it felt great.  I was feeling confident on the Keel, but then the sun came out about 12:00- temps went from 4 degrees to 10.  And the chip and natural holds turned to butter, so I left (in a huff).

Went to Burbage North, this morning. At sunmergence it was a bit warm, reckon it's too early for the official calling - although the kids and wife thought it was just about right.

Bit smeggy in the sun @ the cliff, ok in the shade and awesome conditions in the (half)hour of power as usual. It was about as busy as a weekend day!

I barely sweated at the Depot tonight and did a couple of problems which I kept greasing off on the last moves of before. I'm calling the plastic.

I don't, but I would like one, but there isn't any in my field at the moment... 

Jim either cuts up meat, puts dough in an oven or puts wicks in wax, but I can never remember which

I take a day off, annual leave, to get some peace at the Cliff and a truckfull of UKB reprobates arrives, dragging the Sun with them.  Bastards, y'all  :lol:

Just because you couldn't do the Keel because it was 'too hot', imagine if the sun hadn't provided that excuse for you, you would have had to find something else to blame!  ;D

Ah, but if it hadn't been hot I'd have done it.  Shickading!   8)

Rocky Valley was piss wet, and First Arete was just nails.  Not a good day :lol:

I can imagine First Arete being quite hard if you're tall actually, the way i do it anyway. Wasn't it just as hot and still at the Lost Boots area as it was at the 'cliff?

I really wouldn't waste your time with Rocky Valley...

No, I've realised that now having seen it.  I doubt I'll bother going back there.

Ilkley itself was OK- most of it was in the shade, so I actually needed a jacket on when not climbing failing.

This omen means that JB is going to go rotpunkting on the Lime, and PaulB is going to take up Easy Trad(tm) [/highlyunlikely]

Not until this anticyclone moves and brings some colder air. I was tradding yesterday in blazing heat, tops off, sweating buckets. And I haven't seen a crow with the head of a quail either.
