dry on my door step today in otley means its not rained all night. should be quite good today
Anyone live Barden Moor way? Going to be running rather than climbing, but looking to find out how snowy/frosty, solid underfoot, etc, you reckon the top of the moors will be.
Anywhere around there would be handy, in that Skipton - Grassington - Pateley Bridge - Otley kinda area.
Cheers

Are you out tomorrow?
Small amount of snow left on the tops, but we didn’t have much to start with so no drifts etc. was -7 this morning and made it up to about 3 max in the valley and another hard frost tonight, so hopefully any muddy bits should be pretty solid! Looks like we are due a bit more snow tonight, but not sure how much we will end up with. Wind chill was substantial today and looks similar tomorrow.
Ended up having a go at Ilkley Skyline, which was superb. It's a nice route, but especially good on a day like today.
Ilkley Moor was frozen solid, lots of ice and a good covering of snow in most places - parts of Windgate Nick quarry looked to be in full on winter condition! Beamsley side was a bit more sparse for snow, but fairly solid still. And the lack of recent rain meant the river was low enough to cross the steps at Burley.
Shame it's all about to disappear for a while...

No worries, you were pretty accurate! The only difference was wind chill - barely a breath today, fortunately. It's true the valley and south facing aspects were fairly thawed, but the high level stuff managed to hold firm, which was handy too.

I saw there were some folk up at the Cliff this morning, but whether there was much climbable I'm not sure.

Can anyone recommend somewhere tomorrow? I’m aiming to get somewhere about 10am.
I was hoping to go to Caley for a look at Slapstick Arete, but maybe somewhere else would be a more reliable option…

Brimham was good on Thursday, imagine it will be fine tomorrow as well. I was around the Happy Days and Black Chipper areas - everything dry. Nought Bank boulders were ok as well - Trust was dry.
