Perhaps time to reinvigorate this thread for 2006??

Saturday 01st:

Bouldering: Pinches wall mostly dry apart from footholds on lhs; Boot Boys and A Little Extra dry; Bens roof appeared mostly dry.

Routes: Tin Of & Sardine both dry.  Sharples and Reeves were both on Mecca and Revelations; Chimes a little damp but climbeable.

i had a look in on sunday and though powerband looked damp still there was a guy trying R&h so i would guess its dry unless he was a mentalist.

i was there on thursday, pinches wall, bens roof boot boys and the start of staminaband was dry, the rest was damp - imagine it would have been much the same story today.

Pretty dry, ie most things climbable.
From left to right

Revelations - dry apart from usual patch at start.  Makes no differance apart from getting dripped on as you do the first move.
Mecca - Dry apart from right end of undercut
Bens - Dry
Weekdkiller - dry
Central - dry
Powerband - dry, some feet a little damp
Stamina - dry apert from undercuts
Putp - dry apart from some feet and first slot a bit damp
R&H - dry

You get the picture, its dry! ;)

Confirmed as of wed. Everything is actually dry. I've never seen such a transformation. Only Make it Funky is unclimbable as of now. Where is harris? Fuck it, in his absence I call the official start of Tor season. Wed 26 April. Sound your bugles and book bonjoy a spot on Mecca.

(no idea about routes conditions obviously)

after bank holiday monday when there was approx 800 people on the crag, went there yesterday evening to escape the rain and conditions were... awful. most things damp / wet - all powerband area wet, some warm up holds wet. weedkiller wet. bens roof dry apart from first hold/foot. pinches wall dry. hoorah!

by close of play today all of bens was dry, all of powerband (well bar the middle foothood but it made no odds), all of weedkiller, basically most things dry. the only wet holds i could find were the undercuts right of little extra (slightly damp in the back) and the undercuts and pockets on bashers, and maybe a foothold on PUTP. even the wet diarrhea streak right of pinches wall is narrowing a bit.

 The huge rainbomb predicted for the weekend could set things back a notch or two  :(

Popped out this afternoon and was surprised to find most things wet. Ben's wet, pinches pretty wet, powerband and all routes down that end totally soaking. Sardine area etc dry, weedkiller probably wet although didn't check closely. Looked like the dreaded condensation to me. :o

The rhs of the tor is pretty good again, the seep line into the foothold on putp had backed off although the second jug was pretty slimey. Bens roof completely dry.

Really quite good today. On arrival there were seeps and damp patches there haven't been all year. If this comes through in the next day or 2 the crag will be soaked, but they seemed to dry out during the day. Pretty much everything right of make it funky dry and good nick.

Very strange, the seepage has reversed.  Routes on left are a lot wetter, but most of the right is bone

Revelations - dry apart from usual patch at start.  Makes no differance apart from getting dripped on as you do the first move.
Hubble - wet patches round rirst undercuts and feet etc
Make it funky - start is very wet even up past the big undercut :'(
Mecca - Dry apart from right end of undercut
Bens - Dry
Weekdkiller - looked dry but didnt pull on
Central - dry
Pinches - dry apart from normal slime streaks have got a bit bigger
Powerband - bone dry, some feet a little damp
Stamina - bone dry
Putp - dry apart from some feet and first slot a bit damp
R&H - dry
