Most things from Zoolook right were dry by late on Sunday, with stuff to the left drying as well

I would like to point out that Mescalito was far too wet to have a serious go at despite the fact that Aaron strolled up it  ???

Yeah Malham was in good nick sunday, most stuff was dry as Andy said from Zoolook rightwards.....However conditions were far from ideal for redpointing anything hard downstairs as the sun was roasting!

Hopefully this will be the shape of things to come over the next few months, with hopefully a bit of cloud cover!

'condensation' a bit smeggy but fine with some sun / wind, or 'condensation' total dripping slime bowl?

Given the not so brilliant forecast, I predict not so brilliant conditions, possibly lots of seepage in most areas downstairs with more than a smidgin of smeg on the other areas.

But I could be wrong and upstairs may escape and still be in nick.

If this helps anyone, last Sunday conditions were quite good (i.e.: no condensation), but more or less every pocket or undercut on the crag had water dribbling out of it. Can't see this having improved this week.  :boohoo:

Most of the LHS was wet when I got there yesterday a.m., but almost everything dried quickly thanks to the breeze whipping round the crag. Only undercuts and tufa's on New Dawn/Vogue still wet when I left. Upper tier almost all (except far RHS) bone dry, just bloody cold on the fingers due to the aforementioned wind

Went yesterday (Thursday). It was drying up ok there was light rain but it was blowing in but the big problem was the cold, difficult to do long links before you lost sensation in your fingers. I might not even bother going this weekend as the winds are southerly again and without any sunshine to compensate its just bitterly cold and miserable.

All pretty much dry apart from the Raindogs pocket and a couple of tufa's on New Dawn/Vouge. BTW Corny pulled a huge undercut off Against the Grain (a popular 7a on the LHS) which only just missed his belayer  :jaw:. Corny was luckly just top-roping it otherwise it could have ben very messy  :o
Oh, it was too hot to do anything upstairs. Bugger  >:(

just wondering if malham is likely to be climbable tomorrow. Met check seems to suggest no sun and temps of 6 to 7 degrees. Sounds a bit chilly for sports climbing to me or can a malham local put me right?

Sounds perfect to me. Sun+warmth = unclimbable until your route comes into the shade. Clouds + dry = friction and you can see the holds.

Just to clarify Clouds + dry + wind blowing over the top sounds perfect.  If the winds blowing in it can be less than pleasant.  Latest forecast from met office seems to suggest some breaks in the cloud pm so with a bit of luck it will be mint  :thumbsup:
