The high undercut was still useable, unfortunately, another hold has now broken off: the big left-hand hold you use to get the right-hand slot/pinch.   I pulled it off a fortnight ago.  Very surprising felt as big and solid as always and the conditions were bone dry but a large (6x6") block with the hold on top just sheared off.  Problem likely unclimbable - though it could possibly be glued by someone with the knowledge - the hold itself is intact and I left it under the problem.

I was at ebola last night. It was ok but quite a bit of damp on the underside of stuff. Anything specific you're interested in?

Couldn't sat what it will be like. Everything dry on Ebola that doesn't seep. Bits that seep just a bit damp.

Was there yesterday, everything I looked at around the ebola area was dry, as well as the rocky valley roof and the hidden wall.

What's the sitch with the guide? I gather from reading a previous post that Beta Guides have stopped printing copies of this?
All that seems to be available on the website is a download of the demo guide (i.e. hasn't got everything in it). Anybody know if there's an official source for the full PDF or should I go on the black market?

Hi, main area (Dark Art to Ebola) was almost all dry on Saturday but wondering if anyone has been since the rain Sunday /Monday?
Thanks!

Afternoon all

Thinking of going Friday afternoon. There's a lot of rain predicted tomorrow so was wondering if seepage affects soul crusher and dangerous action man wrestling?

Thanks  :)

So enclosed down there next to the river, I'd have thought it'd be gop-tastic. But it's Anston so there's no way of predicting anything other than Black Crow will be wet  ;)

Seepage doesn't but runoff probably will

Cheers

Has it rained much around Sheff these past couple days?

Will be going tomorrow afternoon I reckon unless the forecast changes. I'm still new to the area so have plenty of stuff to go at.

Got a bit spooked walking around the Filthy Duke area last time. Felt like the setting in True Detective...

Thanks for the replies guys :)

Went this afternoon. The first slot on soul crusher was a bit spoogey. Also the pinch on bullet and most of black crow.

Otherwise some pretty dry rock.

It did hammer it down with rain for about 10 mins whilst I was under Frodo buttress which seemed entirely unaffected.

I was there on Saturday and Sunday.

Frodo and Hidden roof were both fine. The top of everything was wet at woody's. I only had a brief look on my way past but the top of bullet roof was all wet with run off as was some of dark art roof. Wave wall looked fine and some of ebola was wet at the left end but the right was fine.

Everything that was wet looked to be from run off. There was the odd damp hold but nothing was badly affected by seepage. Some holds were dryer than they were in the summer.

I was thinking of heading down again this evening, is there anything in particular you want to know about?
