Had a look on Sunday.

Clarion Call was dry, Powerplant dry and I think routes to the right.
Nettle Buttress looked OK from across the river.
Most other crags are dry - didn't get to Long Wall though as the nettles were too thick.

anyone know if toys for the boys is likely to be dry?

Looked fine when I was over there last week.

Anyone know what the new line to the left of General Incompetence is?

I think this old proj has recently been re-equiped, possibly by Bransby

Ok today. Plenty of people out on Embankment and both levels of two tier.

Nettle buttress and max wall condensed out. Didn't look at the cornice but imagine it was similar.

Martial Music looked dry and chalked if a bit grubby, but the lower parts of Clarion Call rightwards (ie the steep bits) were condenstated. Unleashing and the wall climbs all looked OK though.

Clarion Call dry enough this morning but got condensated as the day went on. Martial Music was a bit grubbier but dry (two pockets a bit damp but climbable) and a bit less condensated.
The steep stuff to the right looked pretty condensated low down. Unleashing, Corless, Mandy etc dry
Embankment all dry though the top of the routes on the left looked like they had some run off, apparently most of Two Tier still good but dampness in the back of some pockets

martial music now dry, climable and pretty clean, cordless almost do-able just a bit smeggy still, gave it a good clean but not quite there. Clarion call also dry but not much else yet.

Lots of rain this morning but also a bit of sun and Embankment was dry except for when it was actually raining hard on some of the top-outs.  From the main path, the left hand side of Two Tier looked quite streaky, think some seepage may have started, but difficult to tell.  Right of centre looked ok still.

Anyone got a view on whether the chee tor trad is worth a punt tomorrow? Non local so no idea really how it fares after wet, plus I've not really been following what the weathers been up to recently anyway!

my guess is that it will be mostly dry, but  humid and greasy.

On Sunday Two Tier was very busy and presumably dry, on the embankment there were a number of undercuts seeping on Turbot, Prawnography and the routes just right.  The routes further right around Sturgeon were all wet (seepage again).  However some of the wettish routes in the middle were climbed, and Stone the Loach was all dry, probably secret gudgeon too I think.  Forecast good this week so expect to be all dry next week.  Hopefully back tomorrow!

Probably silly optimistic :ohmy:, but hoping to get down to 2 Tier/Max's/Embankment at the weekend, so if anyone does go down between now and Saturday, any reports would be welcome :)

For anyone interested, I had a look and it was wet. Maybe one or two doable routes on two tier, but not much.

Just to reiterate: Chee Dale mostly looking good to go. Two Tier, Embankment and Max Wall all almost totally dry, but in need of a good early season brush! The Nook seeping a little, Nettle Buttress looked good (inc. Stung and Toys..), didn't venture down to the Cornice.

Anyone been down here recently? Wondering if anything is dry, we've had a week of dry weather but im wondering if the recent snow will be melting down the crags and soaking everything, Cheers.

Took a wander through the cornice earlier - Right hand side Cosmopolitan/Cordless madness all dry. Powerplant looks dry. Everything left of Ouijaboard suffering from wet streaks.

Everything upstream from Chee Tor dry as a bone. ie Nettle Butttress, 2 Tier, Max Wall, Embankment etc. Didn't go as far as Long Wall though.
