It was seeping a bit on Sunday.

In order Alex; the 2nd left hand sidepull was wet, The finger rail/Rockatrocity foothold was wet but fixable with towels&chalk. The right hand pocket you stab to off the undercut was starting to get wet, so could be worse now. Clever beaver was very wet, but beaver cleaver & lip service were fine.

I'm working in Wales Weds/Thurs and would appreciate any updates, specifically on whether holds on Lou Ferrino are dry - thanks!

Lou Ferrino was totally wet yesterday, parts of left wall were wet (but still climbable). Left wall high was gopppppping (but was climbed yesterday). Rock atrocity and Cave Life were dry including all the array of different places to start them! Broken heart was dry (if climbed into that horrible 7a+ with the upside down foot thing). Trigger Cut was dry as was Halfway house!

Most stuff on the right was very wet, but it looked like it was drying back.

For others interested, the Gop was also totally soaked, definitely seepage not blown.

Have fun!

A little bit better today but that 2nd side pull being wet is a pain for LF. It's easy to dry the rail

Looking at heading to the cave tomorrow.  Any reports on seepage would be helpful, particularly on lou ferrigno and hatchatrocity.  Thanks.

It was better today than on Sunday. All the low links into Rockatrocity and left wall were fine. Lou f looked better too, although I didn't check the 2nd left hand... This is usually fixable with towels and chalk though. Clever beaver dry again. Louis A dry with a bit of maintenance required on the first lh undercut.

So this must mean you can't drive up there..but does it mean you can't walk to the cave as well??

Is climbing still allowed on the routes above the drive if the road is shut?

Yes (afaik). The 'no climbing before 6pm' restriction only applies during bank holidays and the school summer hols (July 15th ish - September 8th ish).
