Not too bad today considering the amount of rain we have had... Roof Warrior area was pretty wet, as was the 7c to the right (Cry of Despair??). Powerplant was dry, as was most of right hand part of crag. Hopefully things should dry back fairly quickly?

Pretty much as Mark said on Tuesday except the bulge above Bored, etc is now damp. 
CoD is dry bar the undercut which is sopping.
War Memorial - Armistice Day all dry to look at but plenty of spoogey holds. 
Extreme right also looks dry

Old man River wall still looked really damp, that yellowy lichen was looking very dark and smeggy.
Top of bored of the lies and big zipper dampish but climbable. A pal was on PowerPlant all dry. Cry of despair bottom undercut jug wet but rest ok. Whose line looked dryish compared to other day.

Most stuff at the right end looked dry today, people on big zipper / clarion call / whose line etc. Cry of Despair undercut still looking damp though.

Really pleased for you, it's been agonising reading your pc posts as you got close.  Good tactic taking time off, semi deliberately avoided the place this week myself and mega psyched already for next Friday and (hopefully not) Sunday.

I don't think Monumental has been cleaned this season. When I walked past it yesterday it looked very dirty and there was certainly seepage on some of the holds.

Nemesis has been climbed this year / got chalk on the holds but I'm not sure if it's 100% dry at the minute.

I think a hold it shares with Bricktop is wet.

The undercut on Nemesis after the first crux was pretty wet today. Some of the other holds in the roof on Bricktop also wet.

It was horrendously humid at the Cornice last night and everything felt incredibly soapy. The tunnels were totally soaking too.

For those considering tomorrow:
Nemesis/Jug Jockey very damp / wet at bottom
Roof Warrior / COD damp/very damp at bottom
TWTR / old man river start - damp at bottom
right of that the odd damp hold but dried up a lot during the day

When we turned up bottom 15-20' of Chee Tor was proper greasy damp but would have dried in the afternoon sun.  It looked like thursday's rain resulted in condensation on Chee Tor but not too bad on Cornice.  Clearly the Cornice was drying during the day but I wouldn't be going down to try anything left of Roof Warrior.  Between there and Old Man River is a gamble and right of there is fine.

Just back from the cornice and apart from the Nemesis end of the crag which seems to be seeping badly at the base the stuff right of and including roof warrior was dry and in great condition with plenty of people out.

Spent most of yesterday over at Max wall - all of this was bone dry. Two-tier looked ok from our side of the river!

conditions tonight were less good than tuesday.

It was mostly fine although some of the pockets on Martial Music were quite wet and the cornice gloop was pretty damp.

RnP had a worrying dark patch around the 2nd bolt, narrowly missing the righthand undercut!

Supposedly conditions had improved throughout the day but the approach was considerably wetter as we left.

What Paul said.

It was surprisingly ok last night (though obviously not as good as tues).

Top of War Memorial was a little greasy.

Most of Old Man River and Zippy's Direct finish has dried out again, but the very bottom (under the flake) was really slimy.

Tim was on Roof Warrier which was ok, but he said it looked like seepage would start coming through by the weekend on some of the holds.

Succubus was dry which was yyfy for me :-)
