All dry and good conditions this evening. An owl was twitter wooing too which was a nice bonus!

Two owls. The female tawny does the twit, the male answers with the twooo

I should have tried The Tor instead of sulking about wet grit this morning

Pubicron was alright yesterday... probably still is...

[cjsheps]

Anyone been to the Tor today? If so, could they please post how the bouldering's holding up?

[tomtom]

Nai was at Rubicon and said it was not ideal....

[nai]

it was just condensation rather than seepage or run off though, can all change hour to hour.  Anywhere with a breeze would probably have been ok, it was just humid smegginess

All dry. Bit warm and humid but no condensation

[cjsheps]

Mint conditions today - all routes and bouldering dry.

[simon40]

Very wet and damp this afternoon

[tomtom]

Thanks Simon. Condensed wet or seeped wet?

[simon40]

Hard to tell I would think condensed, the cave was soaking all the way in

[simon40]

And minus ten, and rubicon, as you can tell I did the full three, just in case

Remain optermistic at all times.......

Condensed then.. Thanks Simon.. RubiTor WAS a plan for tomorrow

[AlistairB]

It was mint on Tuesday night so probably just condensation I reckon.

[Johnny Brown]

Today was textbook conditions for condensation.

[tomtom]

Yes - trying to call tomorrow now!

[cha1n]

Glad I decided against a night session on limestone now...

[AlistairB]

Actually, whilst we're on the subject, can JB or someone equally clued-up explain what conditions lead to condensation and how you might try and predict it using t'internet? It's still a mystery to me.

[abarro81]

Temp spikes are usually a killer, especially if humid

[tomtom]

Rock has a lower thermal inertia than air (takes longer to warm up and cool down), so if the rock is cool and the air temps (and humidity) rise quickly (or fairly quickly) then the warmer moister air condensed on the rock.

In short it's the same thing as if you wear glasses walking to the pub on a cold eve. If you walk into the pub the glasses steam/mist up... Cold glass, warm pub air..

Humidity rises with temps - and wind will dry...

[tomtom]

Anyway I'll have a punt and check it out about 10:30/11. If it's wack I'll post up. Hopefully some sun and a little breeze will drop the humidity..

Are you a fucking Doctor or summat?

Ok. Tor is partly condensed out. Cave is wet as is RH end. Weed killer etc.. Is damp but not wet. There is a breeze so I would wager that by this afternoon some (not all) will be dry. Also after about 12 the sun starts to come into the crag - so it'll dry then (where exposed) but may be too hot in the sun! 

Off to PubicRon to see if Kudos etc.. (Now in the sun) is alright. Out.

I'm very interested in this information, though I suspect given tomorrow's forecast it'll be fine by Sunday...
