I should think so, the sun's been out nearly two days now and we only had a month's worth of rain in the previous week.

two tier dried out a fair bit over the day, case adjourned dry ,  darl/ countdown had various damp patches but a team on these and just about climbable apparently, also quality control drying up, all improving as we left at 6.

Similar this evening, a few wet streaks from the deep pockets etc. but mostly very dry. Quality control had a bit of dampness right at the top but nothing that'll get in the way.

Did anyone go last night? Mainly interested in two tier and Plum buttress? I heard it might have all been horribly condensed?

No, but bumped into some people at The Moon in Stoney who said they'd spent the day there clipping bolts, no idea which area though.

Was good again last night. Darl/Countdown pockets looked to be seeping but climbers on Why Me, Quality Control and something around Celebration.
All of Embankment but Sturgeon dry, most of Max dry

I've been out the last few nights and Cheedale seems much the same as it did on Monday:

Embankment etc. ok
Streak from deep holds on two tier
Plum buttress is ok.

all of it was sweaty.

Felt a bit fresher down there this eve. Sturgeon now dry, all routes on Max dry too.
Two Tier looked much drier too but didn't actually walk over. Maybe a couple of damp spots in the break on the upper tier but all of lower tier looked good.

Two Tier was top notch this evening. Embankment looked fine too (no seepage anyway).
But looking at the forecast that might be it for a bit  :wavecry:

the rain never appeared today, blue skies & sunshine! when we left at 4ish embankment, max & all of two tier were all bone dry  :2thumbsup: (didn't look at the pocket on coutdown but i doubt it would have caused any problems)

Was around Upper Cheedale today, everything as far as Two Tier looked dry. I think it's a fairly safe bet from this that Cheetor should be fine, with the possible exception of a few stubburn bits like the crux bit of Ogre, the Lower groove on Apocalypse and maybe White Gold.

Had a look yesterday and looked exactly as jonboy says.

Cornice quite wet but some chalk on clarion call or martial music (can't remember which). However, still looked too wet for me to want to try it.

Was gonna have a look yesterday but was too psyched to climb so pushed on.

The nook was drying out though so with a bit more of this weather then some of it will get there i guess (r-hand side, maybe powerplant area if we're lucky, and that 7c+ that always dries quickly)

Fingers crossed!!!

N.B. the nook was completely dry earlier this year when the Cornice remained a grey streaky mess. Mark, if you're thinking about Nemesis etc. then you're barking up the wrong tree.
