Yeah wouldn't mind knowing too, particularly interested in the state of the north butress and urgent action...

Also does anyone know if Hollywood Bowl is dry?

[Serpico]

Urgent's still wet, the Thumb was probably just about possible. Crag wasn't in too bad condition, considering. Better conditions than the humid, sweat box that was Malham.

[Duncan Disorderly]

Thinking bout heading up this weekend (weather permitting), anyone know how it's looking?

Ta,

:D

[andy_e]

When does Kilnsey usually come into condition? I want to get working...

[north_country_boy]

Months yet son!

Malham 1st, until it gets too warm!

[andy_e]

When does Malham usually dry then? I'm itching to get back on the limestone (for some bizarre reason)...

[north_country_boy]

I have been informed that March 20th, is the date Malham will be dry!   

[andy_e]

What time?

[squeek]

I'm itching to get back on the limestone (for some bizarre reason)...

You might be better with giggleswick South or Robin Proctor's Scar, so I've heard, I've not been early in the year.  I don't think they seep very much.

[Serpico]

Statistically Feb' usually has the lowest rainfall all year. Last year at Malham, Feb' was the best month of the year.

[north_country_boy]

Very much tongue in cheek.....

I will most definately be up there before March! 

[Andy F]

Same here. Overnight will be mine.

I clicked on this thread and saw this at the bottom of the page

"As of yesterday afternoon
7C's to left hand side: dry enough to climb
Directissima: some wet holds but fine
Comedy/Pantomime: Dry
The Bulge: Soaking from undercuts
Urgent Action: Unclimbable ue to wet pockets in middle
The Thumb: Wet near bottom, but sort of climbable
Grooved Arete: Some wet holds at bottom, but climbable

Bouldering: Some slightly damp pockets, but pretty good nick. "

and thought 'wow... Kilnsey.. dry... in this weather...amazing" and then realised I was on page 1 of 2

Everything was bone dry yesterday, no seepage whatsoever on North Buttress, mint conditions, warm with a gentle breeze, and only two other party's at the crag. Where was everyone  , Malham must have been hotter than a camels back.

[Bonjoy]

Was at Malham on Friday and it was very quite there too. All the routers must be in Pembroke

[north_country_boy]

Andy F/Bonjoy.....Was Urgent Action dry last weekend? weekend looks like it may be too warm for Malham....

[IanP]

.....Was Urgent Action dry last weekend? weekend looks like it may be too warm for Malham....

I would think so - whole of North Butress looked to be pretty much bone dry.  We were on Dominatrix and except for a bit of dust and tiny bit of dampness on the the very bottom it was in great nick.

[north_country_boy]

Great, cheers Ian

Was it pretty chilly up there? Malham was cold Monday with a breeze and little sun...major contrast from sunday!!!

[IanP]

With almost no wind, it wasn't too bad at all.  Got a little chilly for my liking later on but this didn't stop Andy getting his top off  .   With forecast looking quite warm for weeked as long as it isn't windy I would expect pretty decent conditions.

[Andy F]

Should be there on Friday, given the conditions it will be mint 

[andy_e]

Any fossils there? You have mail.

[Monolith]

but this didn't stop Andy getting his top off  .

...which left all the alpha-males in the vicinity salivating...

[Andy F]

Conditions were nigh on perfect today, bone dry, warmish with a gentle breeze up the valley. A few damp patches on Grooved Arete, but nothing in the way of the climbing.

[andy_e]

Warm enough for Andy's top to be off again...

[the sam]

wet again after the recent downpour?
