would much appreciate a heads up when stuff left of ouijaboard is dryer

As of Saturday, still lots of wet streaks on the left hand side of the crag, as it takes a lot longer to dry than the right hand side. If you have any particular routes in mind, I can have a look next i'm there.

Saw gaz at the foundry last night. He was saying he'd been and done the ogre which therefore must be dry

[Mirf]

Gave theoria in the nook a scrub yesterday, might need a little more brushing but pretty much ready to go.

Cleaned Silence of the clams at embankment today, climbing is pretty good and the crucial holds seemed well attached at the minute.  Just needs a bit more traffic!

[AlistairB]

Two tier lower pretty much all dry tonight, just the odd thing on the left wet. Middle bit of Embankment looked dry with wetness at the ends (don't know route names, sorry).

Any one know the conditions of cheedale cornice at the moment?

Any one know the conditions of cheedale cornice at the moment?

Had a look last Sunday, barely a dry hold on the entire wall.

Thanks for the reply...that's not good, any ideas on two tier?

The odd damp spot when I was there but plenty of things to do. People were on Darl / Countdown / Why Me / Quality Control. Might have dried out a bit more in the last few days.

Cleaned/gardeed some routes at chee tor today: sergeyanna, hergiani, parts of absent friends, goal of the month and the vs to the right of it.  Also replaced the two threads on goal of the month.  Crag largely dry but had a major dandelion infestation...have got rid of a lot of it now!  Shoud be better once the next lot of rain dries out.

Also.saw some people on rhubarb buttress.  Dogs dinner looked like it might be ok.  Cornice completely gopping, positively dripping from most routes even around clarion call, and right hand side very damp looking.

good effort

Does anyone know if The Sea is a Brown Paper Bag is dry at the moment?

[StillTryingForTheTop]

Thinking of heading to Chee Dale tomorrow, I'll be looking at Blatent Buttress and Blackwell Halt on the Upper section, but my mates will be after some of the steeper stuff.

Any idea if it is worth the trip at the moment with the weather we have been having?

Cheers

I was on Two Tier today. It was pretty much all dry and good conditions. Tops of some routes started to get wet in the rain but if the rain stops then that will dry off straight away. Max Wall and the Embankment looked the same. Definitely worth the visit.

[Dolly]

So did you do it then ?

[StillTryingForTheTop]

Thanks Mark, will give it a shot then.

Two Tier all bone dry and good conditions this evening.
Long Wall all dry but most things looked like they need a quick brush. I gave Kiss Me Hardy a really good clean, great route, as good as anything else at the grade in the dale. I think Tim gave Fatal Attaction a quick clean last week too.

Very dry but dirty on Long Wall today. Gave Brothers In Arms a bit of a brush, looks good.
 It has always been seen as a poor version of the Cornice which is a pity, there are some good routes there. Certainly better than some of the crap covered in chalk on Two Tier.
 The majority of the routes are well equipped but there are some good looking lines in desperate need of attention such as Breathless. Unfortunately it is a bit off the beaten track and the Peak climbing scene is disinterested. Perhaps all the bolts from the BMC better bolt campaign should be given back and redistributed to an area that wants them. Prove me wrong. Anyone

[James Malloch]

Anywhere on Cheedale that wont be miserable to climb today in this wet stuff and wind?

Not been before so any beta would be welcome!

[Wil]

Lots of bits should stay dry in light rain. Cornice is a good bet by the sounds of it (take a brush), Two Tier lower and Embankment also stay mainly dry as long as the rain isn't persistent or heavy, looking out the window I'd say you'd be ok.

[205Chris]

The Nook is also drying out. There are a couple of damp holds at the start of lockless monster but it still saw a couple of ascents yesterday.

[timlar]

Cleaned kiss me arcy at long wall earlier this evening, great climbing, hard for 7b, also kiss me hardy is in great nick.

[Sidehaas]

Walked through the dale today.  All looking good.  Nook is dry, obviously also Embankment and Two Tier.  Cornice looked pretty much all dry, only wet streaks are down across Wright to Left and and Mescaline Power Trip, and on the River area.  A few small damp patches under the roofs elsewhere, but mostly just needs a good clean.  Cry of Despair looked all dry although there could some hidden damp I guess that I couldn't see.

As of last night, left hand side looking not far off - pretty dry on the rocks but in need of a good clean. Perhaps needs another week or so. From martial music rightwards - all good.

Two tier was also fine. Very tops of stuff getting a bit wet, but with the forecast as it is, should be fine again very quickly

[timlar]

Cleaned white gold last night, good climbing and worth the trip over the river. Also did apocalypse which was a bit smeggy on pitch one but it's getting there. The best way to climb it would be one big pitch up to the lower off at the top of the groove.
