Great Stuff! At this rate you will need a paddle to get from the car park to the boulders against the foamy sea forming beneath the Grand Hotel!!

Is it clean yet?
A few folk at the wall seem keen last night. I'm still quite likely to head to the plantation, but may be tempted by Staffs if the weather is good enough.
 As there is rain forcast for early hours of the morning it could well be the case that CY doesn't dry till late afternoon, if at all.

Dunno where you're thinking of but I checked out Ramshaw and Newstones today and both were minging.  The wind was just about getting to work on the S&M face but the rest needs sun and a few days dry weather.

Still going out, and know a few people are keen....

If CY is wet then it will obviously be a pointless exercise, but fingers crossed it will be dry....

I'm sure anyone trying CT tomorrow will be thankful for the potential extra foam around...

If I can get all packed for font tonight I'll be there. Though pointless rushing if it might be wet.

It was damp today. If it you get there early it would be worth giving it a brush though, much more effective when the lichen is damp.

I'm keen in a strictly non combatant manner, I just feel like some fresh air, coffee and a cigar or two.

Yes two new problems on the grand hotel, up careless into NTBTA and then right into the flakes and NTBTA dropping down onto the central flakes then finishing up careless.

I pulled onto the start of NTBTA and my shoulder hurt so that was the extent of my climbing.

Careless youth was minging but did get a good scrub, as did a frightening new project.

got the impression that the grand hotel is quickly becoming the 8b climber's trackside face, sans woodchips.

Ned and Mike made the comparison with the face of business and 'systemising' the whole block.

I think that there's now two approved sequences on CT and as many as four on NTBTA.
