Thinking of a quickie PM session on PIB tomorrow, can anyone who's passing between now and then let me know if it's looking wet or not please.

Interested in conditions on the other side of the road (red or dead) and at beginners if anyone visits today or has an informed opinion. Ta.

Probably worth adding then that by 6pm last night there was quite a bit of seepage around paint it black. All the crucial holds were dry, but the starting right foot and left thumb pinvh needed drying between attempts. Byker groove was basically a stream. It didn't evolve much between 6 and 9pm.
However the forecast looks dry for the next few days so fingers crossed.
Other side of the road was syill bone.

Yup was all tres bon down the dale today, no condensation just one or two slightly damp but easily dryable holds..

Even the low stuff at Griffs looked doable - mutton bustin ok, ru's ok, rich's not - never seen rich's anything other than gopping

Enjoy!

Ru's traverse fine last night, a bit damp down the back of some holds but nothing game changing. Bovine slots seeping tho. Sean's roof area still essentially dry though the moisture in some holds threatening to soak out, get it while u can

Driest I have ever seen Griff's today, although there was still some dampness in the back of slots.

Red or dead and Jerry's traverse bone dry yesterday.

Paint it Black had a lot of dry holds but still a couple in seepage lines. I reckon it would be good if the weather stayed dry another few days. To the left most, most things had wet starts.

Lots of seepage on beginner's and Griff's still.

The whole Dale was soaking on Tuesday..

Griff's looked ok from a distance but on close inspection all holds wet - I tried drying holds and pulled on there, but a poor session..
