i thought this might be a worthwhile addition to the conditions threads. am there fairly regularly so will try to keep it up to date. sadly, i cant start this with good news:

i was there yesterday and its the worst ive seen it since i started going there in early summer - everything was completely sopping so id avoid for some time 

[Monolith]

Good addition. We need a continous cold snap!

[Andy F]

Erm, didn't we have one last week Tom? 

[ksjs]

not great today - one or two dry patches and firestarter etc can be climbed but pockets still damp and under roof is seeping / dripping lots in places. in short not worth going out of your way for right now.

[ksjs]

much better yesterday - nearly totally dry but still some lingering damp / drips under main roof area especially inside the pod on Panty's Down. even UTB had people on it though the LH pinch was a bit damp.

[ksjs]

yesterday was a bit of a mix: perfect conditions on Under The Bridge and the Robert Duvall area but the main area, with the excpetion of the small non-roof section to the left, was wet early on. it dried up as the sun came onto it but the pockets remained damp all day. possibly condensation?

[Monolith]

Was in surprisingly excellent nick today. Would have managed a repeat of UTB except for the continual ant's piss like rain falling on the flatty. The main gorge area was the best and stickiest I had ever felt it. A few people turned up to pull down later on in the afternoon but it was starting to get a bit pissy. All in all, if the rain stays light, going to be worth a session over next few days.

great conditions yesterday but very hard to get going, just a touch cold.
everything dry including UTB except for very recessed stuff under main roof like the pod on Panty's Down etc

[Nike Air]

Is this place good to go now? Bouldering and routes? Must be coming into nick....

[Nike Air]

Oh and Are there still bolts in the project finish to the classic 7b?? Down wales next week and just seeing whats what..

[Monolith]

Keen to hear also what nick UTB area is in if you happen to get there Jordan.

[Andy F]

Oh and Are there still bolts in the project finish to the classic 7b?? Down wales next week and just seeing whats what..

AFAIK the bolts on the continuation to Grand Canyon 7b+ (I guess that's what you mean) are still in. Don't know the condition though. If you can get hold of Lee Procter he may well know more.

[Nike Air]

Yea Grand Canyon ext, looks a great route. A boulder prob finish after a good rest. I ll try Lee, think it was him who pointed it out to me last time I was there.

Is the under the bridge stuff any good, whats what there??

[Andy F]

TBH Jordan it's been years since I was last there. Again Lee is your best bet.

[Doylo]

Lee told me the bolts are slightly off the route on Grand Canyon extension, should be ok though. under the Bridge is great. jordan get in touch when you come over.

[ksjs]

in great nick 2 days ago: everything, including UTB*, was totally dry (*the hole that you can use with LH at start was damp but this doesnt detract from moves and can be avoided anyway)

[Monolith]

UTB area was mint but shothole was slightly damp. Roof area also sound.

[Richie Crouch]

In very good condition today. A little greasy in the sun but later on it was superb 

[superfurrymonkey]

Heading over today any recent updates? 

[saltbeef]

where is this place? and is there a guide?

[Monolith]

There's a section in Clywyd Rock Climbs with a photo topo of the main area. Going to be there on tuesday evening saltbeef with a small team if you're interested.

[saltbeef]

would be keen but have a meeting after work...
let us know when you's next going and i shall attempt to attend.

[Monolith]

Cool. Will be there a lot after exams finish soon.  Need some serious project/cleaning time!

[superfurrymonkey]
