Minus 10 was in great nick today, from Megatron to a meter or two right of quents dyno. Only problem was the rain soaked the mats which meant lots of drying shoes before each problem.

If you think Tom's cave is normally grim, I'd avoid it for a while. Pretty bad seepage in there today, didn't bother looking at minus 10 as it was chucking it down.

A few wet bits in the breaks but pretty much everything dry at Minus Ten now.
Tom's Roof stuff is a bit greasy but OK, though the landing is very muddy

Every hold with the exception of the finishing jug is soaked on Hannibal, the entirety of the end of Titus is too, as well as the crimp early on (I've not tried it, but from sight I think it's a crimp anyway). Andronicus definitely out.

Also, two young (I'm assuming) gents have done some appreciably shit graffiti on the back wall traverse. 0/10 for effort.

Look on the bright side, shit graffiti is better than actual human turd, which is normally found under one of the problems.

Tom's cave is showing no visible sign of human shit. There are spiders fucking everywhere (think a house spider that looks like it's wearing armour). Woodlice were making much more progress than me on all the problems. Some lovely people have practised writing their names, to be fair they're probably just learning to spell or something. It didn't smell too bad either.

But Hannibal and Titus are all lovely and dry. It's still grim though.

Anyone been to Stoney this week? Would garage buttress routes be dry perhaps?

Minus Ten totally soaked this morning
Garage looked OK, stuff right of Little Plum was wet, I think the most of the stuff to the left looked dry, perhaps a bit smeggy but not totally condensed. Bit of sun this afternoon might have helped dry it out

That must be some jargon from  'tup n'rth,  because  over 30years on rock and I have no fricken clue what a spoogey break is, let alone an " odd" one...

Odd = occasional, infrequent, not universal

break = a horizontal fissure in a rock face (of which minus ten has two)

break hold = areas of said break with are larger or more positive and preferable for use as a handhold

Spooge = wet, slimy, oozing gunk, muck, dirt,

Tom's was climbable but some seepage so a limited number of problems possible.

Will second the above - some spoogey holds in the break.

Also in Tom's, but plenty doable.

I'll upload photos of the "slick jug" block. It's lost a lot from the RH side - all previously wobbly pieces, but I think this requires some serious stabilisation. Maybe some Sika spooged into the back?
