Today its gales force winds, flood warnings and near 100% humidity!
That might mean no Midgys at least....

Im on my way

Any updates/predictions from today much appreciated.

Was truly unpleasant yesterday. Some seepage. But there will be stuff to do.

Not many choices for Peak or Yorkshire sport.

Why not pop in and see our lovely sponsors at the Depot instead and take advantage of their one for the price of one offer.

Perhaps time to consider buying the Serious Climbing SWI fold away climbing wall - perfect for those rainy days.

If every one on here could afford one of those. Between us we'd have enough to put a roof on Woodhouse Scar.

robertostallioni · June 22, 2012, 02:43:11 pm

Don't forget a couple of pads.

And maybe £140 pounds worth of FB mounting.
I don't think you could get 3 pieces of similarly sized ply and a metal bar and knock something similar together for anywhere near as little as that. $:-\$

griffer · June 22, 2012, 04:38:12 pm

how do you put images on?

just driven past, looks 60% wet, torrential rain here, flood forming, first day of summer, crag looks chocolate coloured

If anyone ventures up to Malham today, please can you provide a conditions update later today (interested to know whether tomorrow might be worth the journey up there).

Thanks

I've not been but this popped up on my non-climbing mate's Facebook just now. Taken this morning.

ShortRound · June 26, 2012, 08:19:49 am

The situation last evening (Monday) was better than the picture above, drying back from that point. The same routes were wet but less so. Left hand side had wet patches but the sort of patches that a day of sun should sort out and the big wet patch down the groove had retreated a bit. Anyone who gets down late tomorrow or Wednesday might get lucky.

Just had the following text from Kingy: 'Crag shockingly wet, most things had bad seepage, some of worst i've seen here'.

Three Nine · June 27, 2012, 06:39:34 pm

Text from Jacobjacob today saying all wet, even consenting!

griffer · June 28, 2012, 10:42:36 am

griffer · June 28, 2012, 12:40:10 pm

Just passed the 200 mark

typical peaky always wants to go better, we are catching up fast

Neil Binns · June 28, 2012, 12:54:54 pm

Malham was still very wet yesterday evening. Even routes upstairs (e.g. Todal Recall) had some seepage. In fact I'm not sure there was a route upstairs that was completely dry. Posted a picture in the Malham & Kilnsey facebook group.

nbonnett · June 29, 2012, 12:39:44 pm

I think the word crap conditions came to mind when we left yesterday pm

nbonnett · June 29, 2012, 12:47:54 pm

I know.........words..........

geoffg · June 29, 2012, 01:06:31 pm

Bloody hell Nige, what are you doing on here? Thought you had too many companies to run! Only us retirees have time for banter!
4 routes dry at Kilnsey so no better there.

nbonnett · June 30, 2012, 06:29:26 pm

Got red face from sun today.!!!!!

Most of upper tier dry , down stairs drying out all day in the sun ,bar when it pissed it down for 5 minutes.

Left side drying out but that now depends on tonight's raim !

Nao · July 04, 2012, 01:50:14 pm

Sorry folks but the news is bad today... The whole crag is soaked, including the upper tier. From left to right: the first climbable route is Consenting Adults and the next is Begozi...

All the routes which normally fare better are write offs today -
Overnite is seeping badly at the top and also by the 2nd bolt. Connect 4 wet in the middle section. Even Free n Even Easier is wet at the top.

You would be hard pushed even to get up Obsession today too, lots of little pockets of seepage on the upper tier.

Lots of condensation too.

And its raining again now!
