Keen to get on Black Crow - is this likely to be dry + somewhere to warm up?

Thanks for the replies!

That section doesn't seep it condenses so can be hard to call. It's always damp so expect to have to do a bunch of drying

Without looking properly and just feeling the odd hold in that area, it seemed okay on Saturday.

For Warm-ups, everything to the right (vertical section) was bone dry as well as the stuff on the left (bullet roof etc seemed good).

I've been a few times lately about 10am (and once in the afternoon) and it's been nice conditions from the off when the sun's been out.

Wonder I the current tree clearing will help with the condensing and allow some breeze in... Hope so

Dukes wall and Frodo had a fair bit of seepage on Sunday and some bits seeped more as the day went on.

Temp spike forecast for the weekend, which often leads to condensation, so I'd guess it wont be great there.

Anyone been in the last few days?

And what is it like early (8am ish), does it suffer from morning condensation much? Heading over tomorrow hopefully, forecast is high humidity...

Condensation is your main enemy at Anston, so if you think it's a condensey day then under the roofs are likely to be greasy

Cheers, I'll keep an eye on the weather then. It looks better at Anston than Sheffield, more of a breeze so it could be okay. Will play it by ear.

Bullet roof to the end of the wave was probably climbable but pretty greasy. Wouldn't want to be trying anything at my limit but was okay for warming up and doing laps of easier things.

The buttress to the right of the wave (Ebaloa, or however it's spelled) was in good nick, though didn't look at the 7C on the RHS.

Woody's rock seemed okay. Tufas for the 7a were damp/soggy. Few drips coming from the roof but nothing looked like it would be affected. Back of trench warfare was wet.

Frodo Buttress was in great nick. Didn't check on The other areas. It rained a bit whilst I was there but brightened up slightly when we left at midday.

Pretty nice morning of climbing.
