Anyone know if it will be good tomorrow? Font's gopping, need a limestone fix.

[peaches69]

Was there Saturday and it was a bit wet, usual step stuff. There on Wednesday and was a lot better. Black crow bit damp but climbable. Dark art pretty much dry

[hstmoore]

Frodo and Apprentice wall were dry last night. First time I've been, great venue.

[T_B]

Don't suppose you noticed if Black Crow was dry (it's usually wet, even when it's dry)?

Edit: Appreciate you might not have been to that area...

[hstmoore]

Afraid I didn't see. Just went for the easy stuff

Was at the dark fart area last night and all appeared dry, although I didn't touch the holds on Black Crow

Was there on Saturday and had a few pulls on black crow. Roof/lip pockets were still a bit damp but the driest I've seen them this year. Very doable for the strong I would have thought... Sadly still too wet for me though

Anyone been recently - interested in visiting Frodo's cave and the Dark Art area tomorrow (Weds) or Thursday.  Would be interested in any other suggestions for dry bouldering, out of the forecast showers and gales.

Frodo's and Dark Art were fine on Thurs/Fri. Looking windy and not humid over the next couple of days, so it should be good, but conditions at Anston seem almost random in my experience!

Cheers, probably worth a punt.  Agree that it's a capricious place - I've found it bone dry after a solid fortnight of rain, yet seepy as hell after two weeks of hot sunny weather.... the conditions seem to obey a deeper rhythm than I can discern (like some piece of free jazz noodling).

It does better in cold weather than hot, which partly explains why it's like that. Good winter crag.

I was on the Apprentice wall on Saturday - bone dry when we left. That bit around Berreta was all dry too. Not too familiar with what was where as it was my first visit.

[sjw]

Can anyone offer a conditions report or even say if there's been much rain in the last day or two? Much thanks.

Also after a conditions report if possible, ta

Wave area about as dry as I've seen it last night.

Bodes well for the weekend

Wave area about as dry as I've seen it last night.

I.e. still some wet holds? Black Crow?

[T_B]

Crazy talk. When I arrived someone over enthusiastically described conditions as 'bone'. BC damp as ever, I'm ashamed to say I used about half a block of chalk . Brushed it all off afterwards.

Wave/Ebola area driest I've seen it.

[Dolly]

Went on Sunday afternoon.
Most stuff on Wave/Ebola all dry apart from the low starts. Alpha undercut proper toothpaste for example although things further left on Ebola were all dry.
Tufas on The Un-named on Wooy's were wet but still climbable

[scoots]

Wave & Ebola was in pretty good nick yesterday except for the odd bit of dampness in the usual places (black crow, white light start holds, start tufa on alpha) but even these seemed climbable for the keen.
If my feeble mind is not playing tricks on me again, it looks like the starting flake on Dark Art has broken. The first move is still doable but the second might be harder without the flake to get your heel on.

[moose]

I was at the Frodo area yesterday.  Aragorn was wet, a few holds on Nazgul LH were slimy; Nazgul RH and Frodo were dry.  By the way, has the undercut of Frodo broken recently - seems smaller than when I last looked at it and there looks to be a scar.

I was there in March, with a friend who climbed Dark Art in January, and he thought the starting flake may had broken too.

A friend of mine broke it when we were there in 2013.

[Orrincoley]

Anyone know if it's alright?
