Title: Brimham Conditions
Post by: Stabbsy on December 04, 2010, 08:55:12 pm: Has anyone tried to get up to Brimham in the last couple of days? Just wondering on the state of the roads. Not expecting much of the climbing to be dry, but thought I'd go and brush the snow off the top of a few things before I head to Almscliff or Whitehouses (or the Depot). That way, it's likely to dry quicker over next week. Any knowledge greatly appreciated.

The buttress to the left of Red Tape has a few short things to warm up on. Lost World traverse is fine, but there's a bit of ice around on the problem through the roof - probably still climbable as far as the jugs though. Also a couple of things round Lover's Leap that were climbable but topping out would be a mission.

The Niche was fine, but probably best avoided as the rock on the flake problems looked a bit damp and is fairly fragile anyway. A few things on the opposite side on the Castle were OK as well.

Didn't get over to Hare Heads to check out Crimpy Roof and Cyclops buttress.
