Whitehouses is exposed and south facing, with no tree cover, so should be a good bet if it's at all dry.

I'm also maybe heading down to Whitehouses this weekend, how many parking spaces are there?  Might be the busiest place in yorkshire for people per problems!

Which day you going?
I was probably gonna head up early Sunday with the Mrs. so she can have a day out.
Oh btw I'll be the fat angry looking bloke if you decide to go there.

Parking for a few cars. Rock is generally clean apart from a bit of lichen on top and as the resident insectophile says, it will get any sun and most wind going.

You should be able to get two maybe three cars parked by the gate. If you need nore space you can park a few more 30 yds down the road towrds pateley.

There can be some seepage from the top, but I would imagine there is none at the moment.

But the forcast for Sunday is rain!!!

Was there at the end of the day yesterday and despite a bit of drizzle in the air, it was all dry.
Even if it rains, it dries incredibly quickly due to its exposed position and the seepage on the left doesn't affect any problems.
Have fun, it's a great little venue with more to come!

Sunday, although I don't think i'll be there too early.  I might be going with a couple of other guys.  I'll be the skinny, happy guy with no finger skin or technique.

Which projects are left, the arete, left of the arete and the lip traverse?  What about Sit-start to Rageh Omar into Fat Punters Roof?
Not that I'm thinking of doing any!

Cheers for the extra parking info Frank.

Aye - All those are on.
The sds left to right traverse is close but much harder than KBL.
Let us know what you think to any of the prob's you do on YG.
WH can be combined with easy visits to Panorama (if you're up for Phoenix wall), and G for a little sparkle - pure class.
Oh, and the awesome sweetie shop in Pateley Bridge - not to be missed!
