condition.Any thoughts from locals would be much appreciated.
Thanks

If it's wet the middle pitch (the traverse on the terrace) will be interesting as it's a path along a lot of long grass. Enjoy the route, it's fantastic!

Just back from a day climbing in the lakes and N facing crags pretty wet still so I wouldn't hold out much hope.

In reply to bobpilgrem:

Pavey Ark was pretty wet over the weekend; I imagine Eagle Front might have been similar. There are a few days to dry out mind.

In reply to bobpilgrem:

Everything is generally very wet underfoot, esp crags like that, it was v cold and wet until Sunday, could take a few days yet to dry out, and Eagle Front is not enjoyable in the wet.

In reply to bobpilgrem: thanks for responses-even though they weren't what I wanted to hear !

It really needs a week of dry conditions to be enjoyable, at which point it's excellent, but no push over, with tricky moves and iffy gear in places. When I last did it a couple of years ago we carried fell shoes up and walked round from the top to the top of Grey Crag and finished the day with Oxford and Cambridge Direct - a grand day out!
