Not bad today. Staminaband all dry except the foothold on PB. Middle bouldering ok. Weedkiller just about dry.

Anyone been here or Poobicon today?

Powerband seepi A gagain. Anoying as it was pretty much dry wednesday

cha1n · March 13, 2015, 10:06:50 pm

Thanks Haydn. Might have to just wait to see if grit dries then unless you know of some other lime that will be dry that's not on tiny crimps?!

abarro81 · March 13, 2015, 10:14:30 pm

Anston has some stuff that's not too crimpy - colt, bullet, revolver, black crow, resonate, ebola, alpha, blind bat, the other 7a may all be suitable depending on severity of injury, which hand is tweaky etc.

pinch at crag x bone dry today, and is only slopers for the left hand, bar the starting hold which you don't really pull on very hard

Ha ha! Love that problem but the way I hold the "sloper" basically means pinching the fuck out of it with thumb underneath while crimping the slightly positive bit. #crimpeverything

Any reports from yesterday please?

wsmith · March 15, 2015, 11:30:23 am

Wetter than it was earlier in the week. People bouldering and routing around the cave but didnt see how dry it was. Middle routes and bouldering pretty dry, Powerband slots were damp but not soaked

Ally Smith · March 18, 2015, 11:45:32 am

You said that the cave routes were being climbed?

Partner is interested in Green Alternative - is that dry/climbable? Ta

Kingy · March 18, 2015, 07:26:06 pm

Anybody know if the Mecca extension pocket before the traverse right is soaking wet like I think it will be?

On Sunday, no. But that was mostly condensation. I went in the morning and it was condensed on routes in the middle as well. With a little breeze and slightly lower humidity it's probably be fine by this weekend

Whyatt · March 19, 2015, 04:23:14 pm

Bouldering was grim today still goopy

haydn jones · March 19, 2015, 08:56:12 pm

The grit was mint today why are you on the lime!

was on the grit early morning then skin worn a little so headed to the lime in the afternoon

cha1n · March 20, 2015, 07:28:45 pm

Anyone been today? Powerband slots OK? Wanted to play on grit tomorrow but messed my skin up last night on Mossatrocity

Sarnian · March 20, 2015, 08:46:25 pm

Think I left some keys at Raven Tor or possibly Embankment today, if anyone is going tomorrow could you look out for them please and pass them onto someone Sheffield based, they have a sling and a bit of rope attached. They possibly fell out of my pocket on 'the call of nature' so could be in the bushes

Undercut on Mecca is wet, Ben's roof is climbable but someone mentioned it was a bit greasy in places, powerband slots were a bit damp but not soaking and the big foothold on the crux is wet, undercuts on staminaband are wet. All routes on the rh side were dry.

cha1n · March 27, 2015, 06:39:12 pm

Anyone got Tor conditions updates?

I've been working away all week and looks like I'm returning to shit weather. If powerband is dry, would it likely hold out through rain tonight and tomorrow morning to be climbable? Thanks.

masonwoods101 · March 27, 2015, 07:36:23 pm

It's been pretty good connies all week there so if it's just rain it will be ok. Obviously misty rainy stuff will ruin it... Also jerrys traverse side of the road at Blackwell was dry today... Quite a lot of beginners wall was dry. And that crag with ovine on was wet

cha1n · March 27, 2015, 09:59:42 pm

Nice one Mason, thanks for the update.

cha1n · March 28, 2015, 06:33:57 pm

Got there at 1pm today. All the low breaks were soaked, apparently the cave section was ruined too but I never went in to look. Went to Rubicon and Kudos wall was completely dry.

cha1n · April 02, 2015, 08:54:01 am

I was informed by Seb of these parts yesterday evening that power band was dry excluding one foot in middle.

With today's forecast being dry all day, that can only improve. Sorry no updates on the other sections but am going to go after work today, so will have a look.

andy_e · April 02, 2015, 08:56:18 am

I'd appreciate a report please!
