Embankment and max wall is good Nick today
Some slight weeping but all routes on max wall main climbed
Two tier looked dry too
Raining at the cornice......
-
Lots of things at Embankment are dry, except a few routes on the rh side and the 7c on the lh side. Looked accross at two-tier and there was patches of run off, there would probably be some routes climbable but I'm not sure which ones.

This Chee Dale conditions needs merging with http://ukbouldering.com/board/index.php/topic,17354.0.html (http://ukbouldering.com/board/index.php/topic,17354.0.html)
that already exists.

Emabankment okay today dried more as day went on
Prawnography, breamtime and bream in black all climb able
Max wall very wet and two tier wet in the main too
-
Weather's been nice, anyone been to the embankment this week? Just wanting to know state of Stone the Loach.
Thanks
-
Had the day at embankment today
Really dry and very warm
Stone the loach looked dry as did everything else apart from overlap on sturgeon
Max wall damp and two tier looked dry in the main
-
Anyone care to have a stab at predicting the state of chee tor??
-
dry but somewhat cobwebby?
-
Nice walk today, things shaping up nicely
Cornice - Wild Physique had some seepage patches but everything to the right was dry. Powerplant looked quite dry, certainly workable. Everything else mostly wet but generally quite surprising how almost dry it is already
Chee Tor - all looked dry (didn't walk over)
Nook - the new 7c on the left is dry. Stuff in the middle damp but not too far off ? Storm looked dry. Lockless monster dry.
Nettle - mostly dry.
Max and Embankment all dry.
Two Tier has a few wet patches, mainly around bigger pockets and break. Why Me looked fine. Two Tier upper looked pretty good.

Amazing thanks for the update I am going to the dale tmrw and will also update with a closer look at two tier
-
Any chance you saw if nemesis was dry (ish)
-
Piss wet
-
Thought it might be, cheers
-
Went to the dale this afternoon.
Cornice still mostly a waterfall. Wild physique was dry, dogged and cleaned it a little today, (looking for an 8a project to go at, recommendations welcome!) and the other routes to the right (cosmo etc) also dry. Powerplant looking fairly dry. Everything else pretty sopping wet.
Two tier looking pretty dry from across the river, didn't have a close look.
-
Embankment and Max all bone dry. Two Tier pretty much all dry from what I could see.
Walked along Long Wall- High Society / Kiss Me routes still had some damp streaks, but further right Meterol (great route) etc were dry.
Nettle looked dry.
Someone did Lockless Monster at the Nook.
At the Cornice, Unleashing rightwards dry. Clarion Call nearly dry, looks do-able. Cry of Despair looked dry except the undercut.
Couple of teams over at Chee Tor
-
two tier is/was dry yesterday.
Cry of Despair looked dry except the undercut.
doable wet you reckon? you can get a wipe of the hands leaving there can't you?
-
Certainly worth an early season working go. That hold did look very wet but I think you can dry your hands if you can get the kneebar there to work
-
Chee Tor totally dry.Even the approach is dry!
As always some of the routes a little dusty but there have been people up a lot of the E1-E3's and Tequila Mockingbird received a brush.
I briefly dogged my way up White Gold which whilst totally dry was a little baffling. I think I may have been trying it in a far too direct way. It looked good though.

Open plea: if someone goes to work Cry of Despair can you please take a spanner and hammer and tidy up the old bolts? It needn't take long but would make things look much better. It's also a way to contribute to regearing without having to get a drill or glue out.
-
i'll put a them in my bag, hopefully they'll go flush.
-
Cornice suffering after the deluge on Saturday, though mainly run off I think. Left hand side totally wet. Cry of Despair has a load of runoff, and the undercut is dripping. Clarion Call, which was nearly dry last week now has water running down to the slab. The routes to the right all quite similar, until about Powerplant and K3 etc which also have undercuts dripping. Unleashing rightwards dry though.
All good over the river at Chee Tor, most things E1-3 clean now
-
If anyone goes down today please have a look at two tier especially the sea is a brown paper bag to see if there is seepage from the break. Wanted to have a go tomorrow........But looking out of the window in matlock it doesn't look promising...
-
Conditions yesterday- seepy! Embankment dried out over the day but Stone the Loach/Hungry Eyes still sopping. Two Tier- Open Gate perfectly climbable apart from wet crimp right at the top which made it hard. Other end- Orange sunshine sidepull wet and minos start also wet...
Any info on Stone the Loach conditions over the next week appreciated.
-
Anyone know if nettle buttress is dry at the moment? Tar.
-
Anyone know if Max Wall is in a reasonable state?
-
Sad to have to report that a crucial hold has come off countdown at chee. The large prominent side pull used early on to move right to the crux pocket you undercut off came clean off this afternoon. It hasn't left anything to work with so is now impossible by the original method and likely to be much harder if an alternative method can be found.
If anyone has the will/skill to try and fix it it came off in one clean piece and we left it at the foot of the route. I will happily get involved with the effort but wouldn't know where to start on my own. It left quite a muddy scar behind so it looks like it would have come off sooner or later as there can't have been much keeping it on. Gutted!
