Do you think I should have captioned it under it's original name? I can't believe Dense has retro retro claimed it just for the new guide.

Funnily enough I have, but not at the wall. I'll come down and drink coffee with you. See you in a bit.

Which problem is Dense retro claiming, and more importantly, which David Gray album does he want to name it after?

The classic Carl Kelsall problem "Ego" at Wimberry.

(I'd best stop with this soon or he'll come round and chin me.)

I was at Seans roof two days ago and although some of the stuff by the cave (paint it black, Somebodys head etc) was damp the stuff across the road was bone dry (jerrys, Red or dead.) Also had a look down at beginners wall which was slightly damp but probs ok to climb on. probably be similar today and as long as this hot weather continues.

Beginner's wall today - Neil's wall plus SS dry, Recreational V just about dry, swing time etc slightly damp but fine with a dit of drying. Advanced training wet but maybe dryable. Didn't look further up at the seans roof stuff.

To mutton busting etc? No, just beginners and the glorious tor (which was in good condition, only a bit wet on the left)

seans roof pretty dry today. paint it black was dry apart from one damp hold low down. some damp patches elsewhere but dryable.

beginners similar, did swing time but it was pretty wet.

mutton busting across the road was dry.

the wall was quite wet, but the key holds weren't, only the intermediate pocket half way through. i'd say its doable for sure and its only getting drier.

Probably pretty obvious but Beginners wall is almost all completely soaked.  Seans roof seemed to be wet on most of the holds all the way along to the left hand small problems.  Red or dead wall was in good condition with only a few pockets having wet in the back but everything was climbable.

drove past this today but didnt get a great look, however a few parts of it looked pretty dry, red or dead was dry, seans roof looked wet but left of it looked alright but with a few wet streaks.
 didnt get a very good look at swing time e.t.c but could well be dry, didnt look soaked

Had a close look at paint it black on way back from Cheedale last night. A bit damp, but looked like it only needed a day or so to dry.
