Title: woodhouse conditions
Post by: rginns on January 27, 2011, 04:49:20 pm: Anyone know what Woodhouse scar is like at this time of year, or in fact what it's like at the moment? Green as fork? or worth a punt?

Can or rather will be green in places at this time of year, but plenty will be doable.. all the stuff on the Clingen face, the (many) eliminates on Cave Buttress etc..

Good tip nik, I believe its quite an 'urban' crag... :shrug:

Cheers Nathan, if I get there it'll be about 9ish probably, got to shoot off by about half ten. I warn you however, I am a total punter... :thumbsup:

I was fairly impressed. It's not a bad place for an urban crag really, although I did still feel the need to check for dog shit before I put my mat down. Goes with the territory I guess.

Usual stuff I would expect, the odd carrier bag, a few cans, broken glass, but to be honest there wasn't that much, I would have expected more. take a wad for cleaning. nice one!
