With the sudden thaw on Friday and Saturday, we didn't have much hope of finding any winter climbing conditions today. But ever optimistic, we thought we'd drive up to the moors for a look anyway, just in case. With car thermometer hovering around 1-2 degrees across a still-very-snowy Vale of York things weren't looking too bad.

It was sleeting slightly at the car park, but as we walked up hill towards the crag this quickly turned to rain.

The crag was black, the gullies were black, we returned to the car and bought a Christmas tree instead.

You win some you lose some…
