Moat buttress was bone dry yesterday, so I expect the Cornice is good too.

Moat Buttress is generally a dry crag anyway. It is often dry in the winter so will have no bearing on how dry the Cornice will be.

I see. Are Drawbridge and Excalibur climbable with current fixed gear KC? Thanks.

 Excalibur has a collection of rust and could be retro-bolted with out to much fuss but the rock looks poor above and the start is perhaps borderline too muddy. No Mud No Thud is better I think.
You will need to send in the Lancaster bombers before getting on Drawbridge or construct something. The bolts are crap too.

Will give that a miss then. No Mud and a Bigger Thud definitely on the list tho. Thanks.

Walked past today.  Crag looking largely dry, just a few dark patches at big pockets in the breaks, but Brachiation Dance is all dry and the damp big pocket on Free Monster looked at least as dry as when it was being done a couple of months ago.

Your problem might be condensation. E.g. The Tor was exceedingly condensed yesterday evening.

Was down at moat buttress today and took a wander over to the cornice, the left end was looking promising. Brachiation was looking fairly dry and I'd say climbable and probably the weakling and routes nearby. Most routes further right had wet patches but looked like they might dry again if it stays dry for a week or two? The right hand end may be climbable.

Went down there today, not looking too bad. Most routes still have the odd wet hold. Brachiation dance climbable though a couple of wet jugs father the start crux. Also had a look at Yorkshire 8b but the jug just before the crux soaked the rest dry but dusty. Rumble in the jungle looked not far off being dry. Right of this was still pretty slimey .

Don't worry, the rain over the next few days should see it dripping wet again.

Popped down for a look* last night:

Left hand end looked very dry.

Middle section (Brachiation / Free Monster) and rightwards looked largely dry with a few damp looking pockets.

* from the ground, I didn't actually get on anything.

Spoke to some people who climbed thatcher and BD yesterday. Both dry enough to climb but not completely dry. Dirty as well, obviously.
