R side had a lot of runoff, the slots were damp, but power band may be ok. Cave was mostly ok with some damp slots, most routes in middle had some wet holds. Hopefully the sun tomorrow will help.

It got a lot better at the end when it stopped raining at about 3. Still no proper seepage, there was some condensation from the heavy rain earlier

Seepage is coming through under mecca but the undercut still dry. Make it funky looked dooable but only just.  Cave bone dry all the way to the back. Only other bit of seepage was the break immediately right of pinches wall. Undercuts to crimp still dry though. Right hand side had loads of run off and it's not drying cos its so cold but its not seeping so fingers crossed it won't rain to much and it should dry out by tmrw or Thursday

Entire crag drenched today. 100% wet.

Wasn't stopping a small team blinded by psyche from sessioning the four least wet holds in the middle of bens roof though.

RH end is now all seeping pinches wall and left is fine though. the jug on bens roof left hand exit was damp from seepage but was dryable, the keen roof pocket was ever so slightly damp at the back of it, but again dryable and I was still able to hold it fine.

Remarkably so.

Cave area almost completely dry - Ben's, Weedkiller, THFML, Bashers, etc all good - and most of Powerband area ok too, not sure about every hold and pocket but certainly Little Extra, R&H, OOMT,Boot Boys, Wild in Me, Saline Drip all ok.

A lot of routes looked dry and doable as well.

Unfortunately the wind rattling along it today made it quite uncomfortable anywhere but in the cave but should be fine once it drops
