Pretty good last night. Wet hold/patch in middle of BD, but still climbable. Free monster in good nic. Those amazing sweeping roof things right again all ok, disillusioned - filthy dirt machine.

Big wet monster more like....

Not bad tonight considering the heat of today.....

Bit of moisture still on Freemonster and routes to the right, plus stuff needs a clean up once or before its dry.

Suspiciousy no midgeys either......with nil breeze????? Got slimey late on as it started to condense out a bit

Really good this evening, everything left of free monster dry and stuff to the right did not look too bad but i did not pull on any. No midges and we were there from late till pitch black. the guide mentions massive spans on alot of the routes, are they that bad?

I think theres ways around them mate. Famously theres a great big dyno at the end of rumble in the jungle (is that right cornice afficionados?), but shorties have done it, and Clifford found some heinous undercut to pull on to avoid it altogether.

Good that we get to go there again to be honest. It was hopeless the last two years.

I've never had a reach issue on the routes I've done there. By far the best of these was Albatrocity, which you'd expect to be mega reachy from the name, but it's actually fine, a big (pretty steady, not the crux) move but well within most peoples reach.

Dobbin is correct, Rumble in the Jungle has a leap of excellent quality at the end of the crux traverse......RP Crux, and one of the best moves on Peak Lime!

P.s. - You keen for weds evening Dobbin? Should be heading there for 5-5:30ish, maybe earlier....

I had a look at the WCJ cornice this afternoon. It was surprisingly dry!  Monsterosity and everything to the left looked dry from the ground....

Not bad nick at all on Saturday down there, all routes left of BD completely dry, quite a bit of random bits of seepage through the middle section. All the holds on Albatrossity really good, with a couple of exceptions, but nothing major. Rumble had some wet patches at the first break but from there on up looked good.

Nice sesh away from the crowds and heat!

Was down there a couple of days back and all  looking pretty dry.  Was only on the 7a+ on the left and BD, but they were both dry and in reasonable nick (except for a couple of wet/dirty jugs on BD).  Still a couple of wet streaks low down affecting one or two routes, but most stuff looking dry.  Enjoy!

Everything appears to be still ok after all the rain, BD is absolutely fine.  A party on Albatrocity reported a few mildly spoogey holds but it wasn't stopping them.

Didn't walk down myself but the beasties I bumped into at Rubicon reported it to be gopping.

Was down there today, with JC and still absolutely bone. Path a little greasy, but no evidence of recent rain on crag.
Jon bolted and cleaned his link-up project, from Albatrossity to Barbarossity,
while I cleaned Goldcrest to top roof. Only The Nasty Man (which looks excellent btw)
Empire, Atilla and Sirius to refurbish and bingo - job's a good 'un!

Jon mentioned that the crucial crimp rail on the Weakling appears to have come off and the route may now be unclimbable. Probably worth sticking back on if anyone has the hold in their possesion (no sign of it beneath the route). Anyone?  :shrug:
