Horseshoe Quarry...

Hi,
Does anyone know what the conditions are likely to be there this weekend (tomorrow)?
It looks from the photos like it would be fairly quick drying after a rainfall.
Thanks.

The main wall staying in the sun most of the day and is quick to dry so should be fine. The rest of the quarry is probably not worth climbing on unless 6a is your max grade.

Max length is around 15 meters I think. 10 Quickdraws will see you right. The main wall has some decent rock despite people slagging it off, the other walls are up grassy slopes and the like. The aesthetics are awful, but we don't climb to be in beautiful places do we

Agree the main wall is pretty good.
The area to the far right hand side of the main wall (cave area) seems to have a reasonable selection of routes up to about 6a.
Was up there recently - worth watching out for loose holds...

There's a reasonable 6a on the far left of the main wall on the arete that's about 20m.
