Everything right of Clarion Call were pretty much fine today, apart from some damp looking patches at the bottom of K3 and routes around it, but Unleashing looked totally dry. Quite humid down there, not the best of conditions with most things down the left hand end really smeggy and a bit grim. Drier than last week though.

Checked Rubicon out later and everything down there is fully dry.

I think things improved through the day as I didn't turn up until after four and it all seemed fairly good to me (especially the lefthand end?).

The dark patches on RnP and under that roof had all receded.

With respect to Unleashing, I'd expect the last few moves to be a bit damp under that canopy, the brown rock on Cordless was certainly like that anyway.

It seemed pretty good today. Its worth noting that the road into Litton (the one which resembles glass) is due to be re-surfaced over the next few days so Tideswell might be a better route choice.

As dry as its been this evening despite the downpour, no condensation or obvious seepage. Now if only it'd stay light a bit longer!

I had a good stare at this on the way in (so good in fact I nearly faceplanted). I'd tentatively say it looked 'ok', BUT it chucked it down tonight.

Everything else looked unchanged since my last visit but it was warm, still and a bit smeggy really.

Very dry today with a nice cool breeze along the crag.

Ridiculous grease this evening but no seepage/condensation/runoff. Lets see how it is tomorrow.

Anyone planning on a look tonight?

I would love to go tomorrow, but Dylan (who wants to go on Mecca) reckons it will be wet. What do you think?

I guess it depends which route? Roof Warrior was dry last night but might be run-off issues at the top.  Crag seemed pretty smeggy to me, can only be worse this p.m. I know where I'd go (Tor Font).

With the wetness set to continue (according to the Norwegians) into tomorrow I don't think you're going to find the Cornice in a good state. My money would be dampness under the central section and runoff on the top of the usual suspects. The condensation has been lessening throughout the weeks as the temperatures settle (and its about 12'c tomorrow) but seemingly an hour before dark its inevitable.

Having said all that, it was remarkably dry last night.

It was Roof Warrior I was on about. Hmm. This would be for saturday morning, and whilst the rain should have stopped, today hasn't been good and it sounds unlikely to be any better.

Roof Warrior was dry enough for Tim to tick last night (YYFY for him) and rest of crag great as already said.

Fingers crossed that current deluge doesn't soak through.

Pretty much everything looked / was dry at the cornice today although it was pretty baltic.

Hoping to head out to the Dale this weekend, weather permitting.

Anyone been there this week? Is it wet?

Really damp during the morning but everything soon dried up with the warm wind. Quite humid at times but generally pretty good.
