Anybody been here of late? Don't suppose it's looking like it might be dry for Easter?

I doubt stuff on Griffs will be dry. You're more likely to find dryness on Black N Deckout buttress. BnD and Young Gifted and Black are the obvious choices, both a bit highball, more pads and a spot useful.

Cheers for the knowledge. Young, Gifted and Black looks incredible but also terrifying. As I'm likely to be on a solo mission, I'll give it a swerve! Will things like Red or Dead and WWJD? likely to be dry too?

Red or dead is usually pretty dry. The finishing hold may be damp. Its all worth a look as raven tor and rubicon are only mext door so if all else fails you can go there

That was the plan. Do I need wellies or speedos for Rubicon at the moment?

Might take the speedos anyway, just climb in them, that's what Jerry would do. Thanks for the info!

If you're looking for alternative dry lime Sheep Shifter in Cavedale is probably dry, steep enough to be safe from any rain and (shameless promotion of own problem aside) is mint.

Tideswell Dale is another good bet. Just round the corner from the Tor and often dry when other things are seeping.

Jerry's traverse side all ok.
Seepage on the other side - pretty good at the place up the road we don't mention as well...

Griff's was soaked today but it looked like run off rather than seepage.
