had a butchers yesterday and was amazed by how dry the place was, martial music, clarion call, third order were all climbable too, although still a tad dirty in places. Lots of other stuff had chalk on it like bored of the lies. We were the only group there though which was surprising. So arm yourselves with an arsenal of assorted brushes and get to it lads!

Walked under the Cornice today and I'm afraid it's soaking. Cosmopolitan looked just about climbable but everything else was dripping wet.

Was down on Saturday on t'other end. Long wall wet again after being bone few weeks back. Embankment had seepage at mid height brake sort of thing. two tier klooked ok, but crossing looked bit adventurous due to water level

Yesterday I climbed on Max Buttress, Embankment and Two Tier - all bone dry apart from a sign of dampness on the crux of Sturgeon.  Long wall also looked very dry but we didn't venture that far.

Fantastic! I'd nearly forgotten that the Dale existed, I've not considered it an option for so long it was almost off the radar. Good call on checking it out.

Has anyone been to Chee Tor during this spell of fine weather?  Pacifically Mortlock's Arete and round that section. 
Thanking you in anticipation.

Took walk today, cornice is still a couple of weeks away (of good weather) for the middle and right hand end. Across the river chee tor was quite busy though. Embankment dry, Nook gopping, Max dry and two tier (lower) looked dry too. Having said that it all looked quite uninspiring and I doubt I'll go back this year barring a 'monumental' change. Went to Rubicon too 'cos the Mrs wanted a look at Rubicon roof and the Sissy which she fancied as she quite likes hanging in a harness for extended periods. Both were dry. Caviar wet. Salar, Tribes, Zeke and Kudos all dry as a nun's tuppence. And they all still looked shit too.

Had a wander down Cheedale last night. The Cornice is wet, but not as wet as I expected. Much of the water looked like run off from the top and could be recent and temporary. Everything right of RnP is dry. Powerplant had chalk on it but had wet bit, presumably it was dry a week or so back. Four Door looked dry. Clarion Call area was wet as was most of the rest of the crag.
Dog’s Dinner Buttress was in great nick and looked to have had recent visitors. Had forgotten how good the traverse project is. I can’t believe this has still not been done!
