I assume it is ok to ask about conditions now that there is a published guide?

Has anyone been yesterday or today. What is the seepage like at Woody's/Bullet/Dark Art roof at the moment? Guessing Duke's is out until a dry spell!

On a sort of related note, does anyone know how dry Impossible roof is at Roche?

Cheers

I got told it's perma-dry, but I've never actually been so can't confirm or deny those rumours

Defo been there when it has been a bit seepy on the shouldery thing in the middle but maybe the rain hasn't been too bad that way! Beef Buttres should be good I guess

Please keep to the footpaths and note that rock climbing is not allowed anywhere in the wood.

Unless I misunderstand it seems pretty clear.

I'll leave time for me to be corrected before I start...

I believe Mike made an informal agreement with the rangers that bouldering in small groups is fine but not roped climbing or cleaning/removal of vegetation and that paths are stuck to.

It's definitely not perma-dry or rain proof.

Impossible roof is almost permawet! Like most stuff that side of the m1 its supposed to be drier in winter.

it was wet through on weds

Is that all crags or impossible roof?

[Dicker]

went yest and wave was in good cond altho just had call from mate to say most of it is now wet! super.

[chris05]

Cheers, I can confirm most stuff was wet.

Impossible Roof must have been ok on Friday - Dawid told me he did Serenity RH.

[Loz!]

Went with a safe option and can confirm the Depot was in good condition but my shoulders and back are not so today!

Are there any bits that might be dry today? It's just off my journey south so thought i might pop in on the way.

[abarro81]

Not been recently, but things on dark art roof, ebola buttress and woody's have been climbed recently, so if it doesn't rain on you I suspect there's be something.

[chris05]

I was there on Saturday, Ebola was mostly wet, I think the dark art wall was ok (the wall to its left with colt etc soaked), but woody's was totally gopping as was Duke's etc. There was a small amount to do at the apprentice area but quite a bit was wet and I'd imagine it has only got worse since. You will probably find something to play on but I wouldn't go far out of my way...

[csl]

Cheers, thanks for that. Probably pop into the depot on the way instead then.

[Dicker]

If anyone pops there today could they please give a cond. report. Am wondering about going there this evening. Thank you.

[Stevie]

Not been myself but heard second hand that is was pretty gopping. Sorry I can't be more specific as to areas.

[monkey boy]

Nicer out today, did anyone go? Dry?

[a dense loner]

There is no such thing as serenity right hand. David said this is serenity but u go up wi your right hand first n not your left. This is not another boulder prob it's the same thing. Limestones great

[dave]

Anyone been of late?

[Wood FT]

A friend went yesterday to find it gopping wet, I didn't ask if this was due to condensation or traditional rain. Hopefully ok by the evening/tomorrow with all this wind.

[dave]

Thanks for that,might givit a miss tonight.

What a crazy place. It was as primo as I've seen it on Tuesday night.
