I was thinking of heading to the roaches tomorrow to try tetris. Any updates in the morning would be appreciated if there is anyone in the area.

Also, incase I get there and its wet or raining can anyone recommend rain proof problems in the area?

On the weak premise of living nearby but not having touched rock in weeks:

It’s been dry today and forecast for tonight dry; would have thought Tetris good to go as it dries very quickly..
Dare I say churned is often a session saver in rain, esp Wright’s

Just back from upper tier. All boulders wet but dry below main face on the right and the problems right of the start to crack and corner are dry

Great set of problems those

Lucky!!
I set out at 2:30 figuring stuff would have dried only to hit a shower... went for a potter around Ramshaw and it was soaked from the shower. Hopefully tomorrow...

And I can just hear the rain on the roof again... never mind. Frustrating day with the weather and a toddler with a developing cold...

Weather's looking alright from 11 or 12 ish at the roaches today. How long do people reckon it'll take to dry? Been showery all morning and raining overnight I think. Thinking the skyline might be alright by the afternoon?

The odd shower forecast but a decent breeze and the previous couple of days have been dry, it should be worth a look for more exposed stuff.

Considering the Roaches tomorrow. I don't really know the area at all, will the roads etc. all be OK? Last time I was there was post-lockdown and parking was a nightmare, is it still bad? Thanks

I doubt parking will be a difficulty. Getting there might be though.
You should get an idea from the Flash webcam when the sun's up.

James Grant's peak webcam roundup is a better one-stop link:
https://www.jamesgphotography.co.uk/peak-district-webcams/

The Quarnford, Flash Bar and Winking Man (when it's pointed in a useful direction) are all pretty close. Snow on the ground but I suspect the sun will have burnt the sun off the crags.
