Parisella's Cave conditions reports

It's about time this place had a cave of justice conditions report!

Over to you Dave:

Quote from: Dave
When you've been to this crag, just post saying when you were there and what condition it is in, i.e. whats wet, whats dry etc.

It really is as simple as that. lets keep it on topic, just notes about nick, chit-chat in other threads, cheers.

Word.

Cheers Bubbs!

Surprisingly dry as of this sunday, most problems unaffected by damp conditions. :)

Cave was in good nick late this afternoon. One or two damp holds (e.g. side pull on LF), but generally very dry.

I'm surprised the ground above Parisella's hasn't been covered with polythene sheeting by now :)

Ok, not sheeting, but something more discreet. Just think, no more seepage...

Uncle, I reckon it will be okay on Saturday.  The cave can take a lot of rain before it craps out, as long as it remains breezey. When you see a still wind forecast, that's when you've got problems with dampness, and not just seepage lines.

Sometimes though the elusive sticky-damp conditions can occur when it gets like this, and suddenly everything feels a grade easier!

Houdini - your assessment of the cave is outdated and incorrect. Once upon a time it had a problem with goat shit (not sheep), but since the guide came out and the cave's popularity has rocketed the goats have tended to stay away (maybe they don't like our smell as much as we don't like theirs?).

Over the coming winter, the choice is yours: hang out in dusty smelly climbing walls or become an acolyte of the cave and start working through the big list:

So what's it going to be, the Cave of Justice or the wall of dust and misery?

It'll take more than a bit of sticky damp to make trigger cut feel a grade easier to me. A miracle might do the job.
Embrace the cave Houdini, she will be guide you to a state of climbing excellence if you let her.

 I need to spend some time here as my cave ticks are few and far between. What's the difference between In Hell/Pit of Hell?

In Hell starts on a jug on the back wall whereas Pit of Hell starts a couple of moves in (bit contrived). Big difference in grade for the starts though. Pit of Hell to the Rockatrocity jug is about 7b+ whereas from In Hell start is prob 8a. TXT me when your coming over Ru and i'll give you the guided tour.

Cool! Do you have anything as ungentlemanly as a job at the moment or can you get out midweek?

Ru, if you're still living in Manchester then the cave is 'local' - can't be much more than an hour drive away. What are you waiting for?!

Are you trying it footless or something? you are far too strong to fail on this  ;)
