Thinking of going tomorrow. Can see it says green a lot of the time. Anyone know if it would be in good climbing conditions now?

Thanks.

In reply to jessyb55: Don't know about the green-ness levels but I suspect there may well be ice in the shaded areas by this time of year. I was up there in March (just walking and clough scrambling though) in very similar weather and there were quite a few patches of ice in the cloughs and around the downfall. Probably not enough to be an issue, but just watch your footing!

Pretty much all of the climbing left (looking in) of the downfall itself faces south so actually never gets that green. However, it will be fcking freezing up there tomorrow! save it for a nice warm day with the sun out.

I don't think it holds it though
