Shite tonight. Routes around Sardine looked dry, but all the bouldering was wet bar the end of ben's roof, and some of pinches wall. Bag of shite.

Tor on Saturday night driest I've seen it, all bouldering seemed dry. Routes on left looked wet. Then the deluge came, creating a large amount of run-off across the crag.

Last night in the rain:
Bens roof dry bar the little pocket fingerjug before the finish
Weedkiller OK but a bit greasy in some slots
Rightwards from there everything dry until you got to the first two high slots on powerband which were damp/greasy, as were the staminaband undercuts.

Does anyone know if the bouldering on the right hand end is condensed out?

Anyone been out to the Tor/Rubicon/X today? Buxton weather showing current temp 15.9 deg, with dew point at 15.3 deg. Claggy?

In terms of ground water, Rubicon was fine this time yesterday all around traverses and kudos.

Not sure whether this helps, but in Totley now you can see your breath. I think that's a bad thing for hard stuff.

Yeah not so worried about seepage, more general gop/condensation. Might be a night for indoors.

Is the tor bouldering likely to be dry tomorrow?

Went for a walkabout today - Tor in surprisingly good nic all the way along; I'd have said pretty much all bouldering in, even quite of lot of the routes..

I HAVE NO EVIDENCE...

But, its been drizzling/raining here in Manchester since 8pm last night.. and radar suggests its been doing about the same in the peak. Plus, its been cold (Rock cold) and its warmed up since (a bit) and is certainly more humid.

I'd put money on it being damp and condensed...

But if I lived 20-30 min away I'd go an have a look..
I'll be heading to the wall, or maybe trying to find some fast drying grit for tomorrow morning (as it looks like there may be a dry few hours then)...

No condensation surprisingly. Cave reportedly dry. Most of the rest of the crag wet with what looked like mostly runoff, but middle section had largely dry routes with some wet bits higher up.

Last Sunday, Ben's Roof was dry and the first holds of weedkiller traverse were wet. I think Andy (the Andy who used to be a chef?) was trying Keen Roof last Saturday. My guess is that it would be similar today.

Ben's roof, pinches wall and a few other things were bone dry today. Weedkiller and Powerband were wet.

Roadside wall at Blackwell Dale was also dry. Everything else at Blackwell Dale looked soaking.
