Plenty of dry rock and dry routes to go at now, worth taking a stiff brush and get involved. Perfect conditions down there today with a slight breeze.

Looking good down there as of last night (24th July). Although if people are psyched for nemesis, jug jockey, gran techo etc. then it's worth getting up them and giving them a good brush a couple of days before going back with a red point in mind. Whilst all this stuff looks dry, there's generally moisture trapped under the dry crud, that needs exposing to dry off properly.

Went up "Taylor Made" last night, big up to Mark for initial cleaning. I gave it a further scrub and it'll probably be climbable by Saturday if 7c's well within your grade  :weakbench: (take a brush though, every little helps!). Just one damp, crucial crux hold. Flippin well good route!! Spicy boulder start followed by chunky roof bizniss!

In addition to all the above-
Snails of the Riverbank now cleaned. Apparently has lost a hold, so tricky crux through 2nd bulge. worth doing.
Beezlebub has seen a few ascents
Mandy got cleaned today, not sure about the 7bs to the right of it though
Nemisis was getting it's initial scrubbing
Taylor Made in redpointable nick now, wild route!

A few obvious things in need of a brush- Jug Jockey, Old Man River direct finish and Up the River without a Paddle (best 6c+ in Peak...)

Condensed to fuck last night, right hand side climbable (cosmo etc). left hand side and roofs had slippery kippers everywhere. May have got better today however.

Have people been climbing down there this week? Keen for tomorrow but not sure if it's worth the trip or just to head straight to the tor. Would appreciate any news.

Chris Craggs said on the other channel it was dry, and apparently wcj cornice is still good, so you're probably fine. A report back would be good :)

Unleashing and cordless wet with run off at top today.  Occasional damp/smeggy bits elsewhere but mostly still bone. We were on that was the river & old man river,  people were on nemesis,  the 7b right of snails, bored and the usual 7as.

cornice was mint this mourning, but then the mist descended and everything became gopping wet, but i suspect it will dry out very quickly, if your worried about the rain we had on mon/tues, don't its held up fine.

Perfect today. Every route looked in perfect nick with the sole exception of Taylor Made which had a wet streak.

There today, all looks good, wall had started seeping between jug jockey and roof warrior. Don't think there is a route there though

Yes Dreadnaught is always the first to go and the last to dry. Still the crag has done very well this year despite the late start.
Could have been classed as a vintage year if more got cleaned and done.

Is the Cornice drying out at all linked to whether or not there's been a lot of snow during the Winter? No snow this year = vintage. Snowballing opportunities other years = a glimmer of hope, nothing more.

2010 and 11 were good years with snowy winters. It's to do with summers as this last winter and spring were very wet.
Still dry today.
