mark20 · August 18, 2012, 08:12:17 pm

Had a quick glance at Jerry's Traverse as I drove back just now, totally condensated. Didn't really see PiB though sorry

Does anyone have an update of the conditions - appreciate any info!

galpinos · September 03, 2012, 05:00:23 pm

Quick update from Saturday - 1/9/12

Red of Dead - Dry
Jerry's Traverse - Dry
Paint it Black and all problems on that side - Wet (drying, but still seeping)
Beginners Wall - Dry (odd seeping hold but dryable with a rag)

mark20 · September 06, 2012, 09:25:19 pm

Jerry's & Red of Dead walls are all dry. Paint it Black a bit soapy but the things to the left were dry.
Beginner's Wall dry, if a bit soapy in the back of pockets.

Heard it was wet from someone who went today midday.

J_duds · September 08, 2012, 10:07:57 pm

Ok dont sound good then. Thanks for update.

Wood FT · September 13, 2012, 11:05:22 am

Has anyone been to Beginners Wall recently? How is it fairing?
Thanks

timlar · September 13, 2012, 01:32:25 pm

Was dry last Thursday, routes and bouldering! Tim

Wood FT · September 13, 2012, 02:10:38 pm

nice one, we've had some rain since then but not biblical so fingers crossed. thanks

joe dobson · September 13, 2012, 07:54:31 pm

mate did paint it black today, said it was all dry including the tor if it helps

Wood FT · September 13, 2012, 10:21:21 pm

Beginners wall area is ok, bit smeggy in the pockets on man of steel etc but hard stuff on the left looked really dry, the route itself in good condition which is a shame as that leaves me with no excuse for getting SHUT DOWN.

Saw Tim and folk climbing on the Sean's roof side of the road, the other side all felt good with the little we touched. Good temps. No grit until i'm sure the midges are massacred.

Hi
Can anyone give an update on conditions? Particularly paint it black?
?cheers john

mark20 · October 07, 2012, 08:17:03 pm

Someone on Jerry's Traverse this afternoon, sorry didn't get a look at PiB.
Beginner's Wall looked surprisingly dry too

Baldy · October 08, 2012, 01:03:34 pm

Absolutely soaked yesterday.

Holds all soggy, the wall around them was dry.

lame

J_duds · October 08, 2012, 01:38:38 pm

that doesnt sound good. Thanks for the update.

Richie Crouch · October 10, 2012, 07:20:41 pm

Does anyone have a latest on conditions? Thinking of a Saturday trip but Thursday looks dire... Will it put it out of action? Any info on nuda's tartan would be great too!

nai · October 10, 2012, 08:12:33 pm

No first hand knowledge of Nuda's Tartan but I did see a couple of problems logged on ukc yesterday, so presumably ok.

Simon W · October 10, 2012, 08:52:39 pm

Was at Nuda's yesterday. Feet on scenic route were damp, jams on calorie count and slot machine were a bit greasy as were some of the deeper pockets on the meltdown traverse thing. All climable and decent enough conditions to keep us busy for a few hours

leeroy · October 10, 2012, 11:35:48 pm

aslong as its not overly humid nudas is usually really reliable (i've not found it properly wet all "summer") Meltdown and tarantula are classy.

Richie Crouch · October 11, 2012, 07:03:39 am

Cheers for the swift responses! I guess the tor isn't all that far should they be grim
