I wouldn't bother mate. We tried to get up on Monday and all the roads going up that way from Hathersage were closed we struggled to get up to Curbar. You might have more look from Sheffield side though.

Easiest way to get to Burbage Bridge would be to park at the Fox House and walk.

But look at the pic JB posted and its not going to be worth it.

The road from Ringinglow to Burbage Bridge had a sign saying "Road Closed" at the Ringinglow end this morning. Looked drivable to me 

[dave]

I think it has to be pretty bad for them to put the signs out. I remember seeing a delivery van stuck near the parking last year in full snow, even then it didn't warrant the signs.

I headed up there in a 2wd xmas eve when it looked ok, managed to keep momentum going and made it up but on the drop down to the parking at burbage north realised I was screwed. Got stuck there for about 30 minutes trying to dig tracks out but only when some folk offered to push too did I get going again.

Snowing heavily now in Grindleford, you're more likely to be able to sledge down great slab at Froggatt than climb it.

I think you might struggle to find Remergence Buttress at the moment!

Cheers slack---line.

I hope you guys had your avalanche transceivers!

[slackline]

No probs Bonjoy 

Went for a walk up Alport valley Sunday to the Castles, some big cornices there that we kicked steps up...



My friend then fell through them further along (steps are where he'd tried getting back up, but too steep at the top, and would more likely have pulled a load more snow down on himself)

[Bonjoy]

Aye, with the strong easterly wind there was a fair bit of wind slab under the edge and even our mini avalanches were a touch scary. I dare say some slopes in the peak are quite dangerous.

  There was tons of collapsed cornices as we walked into the Castles, glad none of them came down on us (bar the one my mate fell through)!

I think most of the drifting has happened since they visited. Most buttresses had little visible rock on them on Saturday!

[dave]

That figures actually. They'd have been there on the 4th. This weekend there was snow being blown over the main road just above fox house, and on the A57 near moscar - pretty fucking drifty etc.

[Johnny Brown]

Keith was out monday night, the big dump was tues morning.

[Johnny Brown]

Too much speculation, not enough FACTS on this thread. I went up there today and had a great session bouldering, here's the proof:

Banana finger - as you can see, dry Rock, soft landings


Warming up on Blind Fig


Small is beautiful - don't remember it being so easy before, that big move felt piss, I must be getting stronger.


Warm-up/ Twenty-foot crack area. As you can see, I just did the crack. It pains me to admit this but, for the first time in my life, I failed to top out. Shit conditions? Felt a bit warm tbh.

[fatdoc]

WOW


Anyone been to froggatt??

way back in the day there was sport to be had jumping of the downhill racer.. you snow boarders could have  a mighty fine time !

[Doylo]

those pics are nuts!
