Cheers guys, thats great info. Will risk this weekend if it stays in similar condition.....Interested in venturing up to top tier actually so thats great!

On that note, what would you recommend on top tier (7b-8a) besides the guidebook classics? (***'s etc).....

Serious Young Toads is a fantastic 7c (may be seeping at the bottom though) and Todall Recall a nice, crimpy soft 8a, both **

Would Recommend Serious Young Toads also. Quite a stamina route.

Cheers

Yes went yesterday (Thursday), but I'm not sure how much help it will be because I'm always surprised how unpredictable things are. Lower teir was drier than it was last Sunday (Raindogs much improved and Wasted Youth) however up top was wetter than I've seen it lately. The tufas were just about damp, not sure whihc way things might go. The river was very high and it was chucking it down. It was also very cold.

Make of that what you will.

Pretty much the whole crag was bone on Sunday, even the Groove looked do-able. Perfect conditions, nay maybe a bit hot truth be told...

Give the current forecast I expect it to stay in nick for a while to come.

Everything was bone the weekend before last, so upper tier should still be dry. Which route(s) are you after?

Main overhang and Free and Easy will most likely be dry, New Age has a seepage line down it so may get wet quiker than most up there. Plus AFAIK the second bolt on New Age is still in a very shoddy state and needs replacing.

Most things from Zoolook right were dry by late on Sunday, with stuff to the left drying as well, but the rain today may soak most of the LHS by tomorrow. It was just too hot and sunny on Sunday to be of any real use downstairs, may well ahve faired better upstairs.
