Is there a smiley face taking his hat off saying 'trousers down, you got me, congratulations on your wit'?

Retort written on a small piece of paper stuck to the rock fifteen feet up a hanging arete at stanage. (I know this is weak).

For the few of you who don't live in Sheffield, it's just dumped an inch here and then cleared up but everything is wet. Rather pretty though. Readza posted it was snowing in Congleton so I imagine everything in between is somewhat wintery.

Aye, it dumped two inches here too, so it's an indoor day tomorrow unless it dries up enough, which I doubt.

Anyone get out on the grit today (saturday)? Went to Stanage and the snow was melting in the heat, dripping on all the rocks. Virtually nothing was climbable. Retreated to Minus ten, which was all dry except for the bit we wanted. Will anywhere be dry on Sunday?

Cratcliffe area was fine, as it pretty much always is on marginal days. Shame on everyone who went indoors yesterday  :roll:

But I went to Minus Ten instead... I've not been for a couple of years and had forgotten how good it is (seriously!)

Is plantation looking good at the moment? I know I don't like it that much, but you can't argue with a lift over, beats the usual two buses and much walking to brownstones...

Anybody seen any forecasts for tomorrow?

The weather is good today. It's been on and off all week - if you're lucky it will be fine and not rain till the evening - that's happened a few times in the last few days. Unfortunately I'm stuck inside working when I could be climbing. Gachh. Deadlines.  :cry:

Bugger. You'll just have to stay up all night to finish it then you can come with! Are the A-man and the other R-man coming out? What about the L-girl and the D-man?

Anyone been to the peaks premier hard sport climbing venue? Wet? Likely to be wet even if its dry for a couple of day? Specifically right-hand side, PUTP, etc...

I'm about 15 minutes away to the West and it's raining at the moment.

Climbed there Sunday and the routes on the r.h.s were almost there but still seeping in areas so I imagine they'll be similar today.  However by Sunday or Monday all could be well given the forecast for the weekend.

Check the conditions thread on UK and Eire as it usually has recent updates.
