Looking on UKC latest ascents, there was a couple of routes ticked at Raven tor last week. Plus one at rubicon. In the 7c-8b range.

zeke the freak to let the tribes increase is all dry, i assume all of the stoney routes will be dry, pretty much all of middle of tor would be dry i'd imagine.

Garage Buttress is probably a very good bet, from the ledge upwards there is usually something dry!

Drove past garage buttress the other day and there were no obvious wet streaks.

absolutely, in the main, some seepage but hungry eyes, prawnography and routes to the right looked okay. Some wet under the overlap of the man who fell to earth

always worth a look, warm on dogs dinner
