Anyone got any spare glue? Accidentally pulled the 1st right hand off Nemesis/Bricktop... It's sat on the starting block. Won't b in the area for a few weeks, can anyone help?

I suspect some kid will have picked it up and launched it into the river by now. If any one finds it though, put it in a hidden spot so the glue fairy can work his magic! He hopes to get down there soon.

Yes conditions pretty perfect tonight.

Finally ticked Bored of the Lies after falling off the top two moves 5 times! First 7b (finishing up Big Zipper)

Woop! :D

Cornice bone dry today despite the heavy showers through the day.

As I suspected the hold has gone! It is probably a bouldering grade harder to the knee bar. This won't effect the overall grade of the 4 routes using this start..

Crag is super dry.

Dry today despite the rain. Taylor made maybe a bit wet or certainly there was some water close to it. Condensed a bit at the end of the day, hopefully that wont screw it for tomorrow though.

Andy F · October 09, 2011, 07:56:21 pm

The condensation didn't screw the Cornice today, the run-off saw to it instead

Nike Air · October 09, 2011, 08:31:53 pm

The entire crag Andy???

Andy F · October 09, 2011, 08:48:19 pm

Not all of it. There was lots of run-off affecting the bit above the roof area on the LHS. The central and RHS had some longish streaks, with the odd bit on condensation thrown in for good measure. It'll probably dry back in a few days if there's not much rain. There didn't seem to be too much seepage coming through from the back, but the river was a lot higher than last week.

Nike Air · October 09, 2011, 09:04:55 pm

cheers andy,
Did folk bother climbing? wondering if its a no go for tomorrow.

Andy F · October 09, 2011, 09:14:53 pm

Most people who turned up bailed to the Tor. I'd doubt it'll be vastly better tomorrow.

AB · October 10, 2011, 06:05:55 pm

No chance anyone's challenged the forecast and been to the vale of cheese today? I'm on powerplant and my mate's on roof warrior so they're the only things that need to be dry, been trying a reverse rain dance all day but hasn't seemed to work...

abarro81 · October 13, 2011, 08:26:37 pm

Everything left of and including martial music very wet with a combination of runoff and some seepage.
Clarion call dry-ish, the 2 things right of it wet.
Big zipper and board of the lies dry.
Powerplant and devonshire looked dry
K3, 32, RnP wet under/in roof but dry above.
Right hand side had some run off at the top.

If anyone braves it tomorrow for one of the dry things I'd be interested to know if the roof of Gran Techo/Techno Prisoners looks dry...

abarro81 · October 16, 2011, 09:29:12 pm

Similar to, but generally a tiny bit drier than, before. The exception being the warm ups which were wetter.

abarro81 · October 19, 2011, 08:11:55 pm

2nd hand info:
"Crag very dry! Even roof warrior and cry of despair dry. Everything from martial music rightwards dry. Hard to tell for certain but Techno Prisoners looks ok I think"

PM me if anyone keen for weekend crushing..

Bollox hand info that.
All routes left of Big Zipper are piss wet!
Big Zipper to Devonshire super dry, K3 and R'n'P starts pissed and the slab lands are all dry.
The roof route is a bit soggy in the back but still possible if you can dry your hands in the kneebar.

mark20 · November 20, 2011, 08:59:50 pm

Had the valley to ourselves today, still plenty of dry rock around
Max Buttress - all dry
Embankment - spots of seepage on all routes, not much in total but I doubt anything is climbable
Two Tier - all the lower tier looked dry, some large seeps on upper tier
Blackwell Halt - the odd wet patch but mostly climbable

cofe · March 21, 2012, 03:46:17 pm

Anyone been down recently? Just wondered how stuff was doing.

Wil · March 21, 2012, 04:07:28 pm

I popped down the weekend before last (10th March).

Embankment had a bit of seepage, but there were people on Hungry Eyes and Bream in Black. On Two Tier there were a few damp pockets on Darl and Countdown (probably just the crux pocket), Daylight Robbery was damp, Entree looked workable. Nadin buttress was damp along the steep start of Minos etc, but Celebration/Aberration were dry and right of Lightweight looked ok. Nettle Buttress looked a bit soggy. The Cornice was wet (obviously), but it looked wet rather than smeggy and wet if that makes a difference. Dry patches from Unleashing right. Chee Tor a little damp on the Ogre - Boobs section, drier further right for the trad. I reckon a lot will be good to go after the sun this week.

Wil · March 21, 2012, 04:10:09 pm

Forgot to say - wet streaks on Max Wall, but not substantial and I expect they've dried up.

cofe · March 21, 2012, 04:45:21 pm

nice one, ta

mark20 · March 22, 2012, 06:08:48 pm

Embankment totally dry.
Max looked dry too.
2 Tier mostly dry, a wet pocket on Countdown and a few wet patches in the break on the top tier.
Couple of routes on the right of the Cornice looked dry (Mandy), and Further Adventures in Greendale was dry and chalked!

D a n · March 26, 2012, 10:59:51 pm

Went down on sunday & conditions were great.
Embankment & Max wall were totally dry
Two Tier was almost perfect, the pocket on countdown was a tad damp but wasn't a problem once you got some chalk in there!

Im sure itll be prime pretty soon!

mark20 · April 02, 2012, 09:00:11 pm

Update from today,
Embankment & Max fine.
Two Tier - good, Countdown pocket it a bit grubby but OK. Everything else looked fine.
Long Wall - few wet streaks, only Hot Panties and the routes either side are completely dry.
Cornice - Cosmo & Cordless and rightwards all looks dry, but perhaps a bit of run off at the top of a few. Further Adventues chalked. Martial Music, Bored/Oujiboard look grubby and damp but no actual wet streaks, so maybe not too long now.

Blakey · April 07, 2012, 10:29:18 pm

Spoke to a friend today who went yesterday, said it was wet including embankment and max's wall. Only Quality Control and a couple of others near it were dry. Hoping to go this week so an update would be MUCH appreciated

richardr · April 12, 2012, 07:13:55 am

Does anyone have an update on two tier/ embankment after the rain over the last few days? I'll be around for one day only and hope to put Celebration to bed (Nadin area)

Anyone?
