Not been recently but should be climbable pretty much all year. It condenses fairly easily and gets greasy under the roof (especially black crow holds) - having to do a bit of drying is pretty standard.

Much appreciated, thanks.

The Wave and Ebola areas were very good today, hardly any condensation and a good breeze.

(Off topic: does anyone know why most videos of Black Crow I've seen are from standing, when it's in the guide as a sit? Seems odd.)

Wave area fine with the usual grease under the roofs. Woody's had some runoff on the left but stuff on right hand roof ok

Anyone been in the last day or so, thinking of chancing it today.

Any updates??

[Seb]

Any news?

What's the chances of it being dry there tomorrow?

Did you make it to Anston today? Any news?

[peewee]

Black Crow was dryish and so was most of that roof, ebola area was gopping and bullit roof was seeping too.

[leeroy]

today was pretty similar. the vert wall was fine, but the vision to ebola was very wet with both run off from the top and seepage. bullet was soaking. the dark art roof was damp, but black crow was dry enough and dark art would have fine been given some effort. hidden wall was a mixed bag, free mason was dryish, but nipper was wet.

[Seb]

Any news? Do people think much will be dry tomorrow?

[J_duds]

went today, ebola area looked very wet, bullet roof partly wet, dark art roof was ok in places, the central wall had some wet holds bit lots climbable on that flat wall.  Hidden wall (is well hidden if you've never been before and have no guide! But we managed to find it after a lot of walking!) but it was very wet.
hope this helps

I noticed there was an Anston guide in the March edition of Climber, might be useful for people who can't get hold of the betaguides book.

thanks r-man  – i just bought this mag, the map will be useful for my next visit.
I tried to buy a guide bought the climbing works and cragx have sold out. And its on the betaguide website to buy.

Is it the full guide to Anston or just a selection of problems?

[J_duds]

The article contains a map of all the main walls, with some text on the main/recommended problems, lots of photos. This map combined with a descripitive list of problems (e.g. from UKC log or similar) you should be able to work out what is what and at which section, and perhaps more importantly where each section is located in the woods (particularly hidden wall!).

The magazine article also highlights the sensitive access, which is important to read and adhere to.

Is it worth chancing tomorrow?
