There's a tiny bit of seepage at griffs today but everything was climbable, pretty humid though but I expect it'll stay dry enough.

Anyone been recently? Or know if the back to black crimp/pocket in the roof is dry yet?

PiB was dry thurs but b2b crimp wet. Obvs humidity means the whole thing now likely to be gopping!

Holds on PiB were all dry earlier today according to Facebook group, but some damp patches in between. Sunday morning it the damp streaks were still on the holds so it's obviously been drying rather than vice versa.

Everything at Sean's roof and the other side of the road were bone dry as of 6pm today.

The road from millers dale is currently blocked for roadworks at the point of the right hand turn off up to the old train station.

Does anyone know if Blackwell dale bouldering can be reached from the other side? Chances are that the whole road is blocked off from the other direction too but wondered if anyone knew for sure.

Left in a rush on Tuesday and forgot my brush on a stick and my strap at Beginner's Wall.

If anyone sees them there, can you stash them out the way and I'll pick them up this evening. Cheers.

Thanks to whoever left the strap.

But if you are going to nick the brush, you could have at least taken the finger tape that tied it to the stick rather than littering the crag.  :wank:

Will this likely be wet at the weekend? A fair amount of rain this week (and forecast), how much is needed for it to start seeping?

I’m thinking the same about Lime for the weekend... Its due to rain shit loads this afternoon (just started in Manc) and on Friday night (I think) so its a tough one to call. Its all been bone dry - and may survive a dousing - or may not. Beginners wall is the most seep resistant one of the crags up the dale as I understand it...?

If someone is able to predict the conditions of PiB area then they're probably some kind of millionaire spread better or some such who has no interest in climbing. Possibly the most goppy chunk of rock in the Peak bar the black streak of Black Crow at Anston.

Everywhere else will be mint. It's September remember.

Anyone know first hand what state Griff's buttress is in currently? Went on Tue and it was pretty seepy but not a million miles away, just wondered if anyone had been yesterday / today?

Apparently, Buxton had the most rainfall ever recorded in a day last weekend and it's been wet this week. My guess is it's wet.

Didn't go to the crag to check but looked very streaky from the road. Beginners the same
Some stuff around the cave ok at the Tor although it's pretty drippy. Powerband are wet, Kristians and beyond possibly ok

For today? It will all have been dry (PIB drying) before yesterday but not sure how the humidity will have affected things. Windy, sun and showers here in Sheffield but was proper raining this morning.

I reckon at least one of those venues would be ok.
