If anyone cares, it was a bit grim. Pockets were a bit seepy, nothing gopping, but holds under roof (e.g. tech nine) were grim, pinging off random stuff due to spoogyness (the good hold on the end). Frustrating! One or two mozzies around but not too bad.

Anyone been here lately?
Worth a punt, or still too humid and spoogy?

On tues Frodo was a bit spoogy - Nai said it was crap on thurs but Apprentice Wall was ok apparently.

Suspect not much seepage but depends on wind any condensing etc... I’m in manc af the moment - and whilst it might be completely different over there- I’d guess it’s alright...

Generally reasonable conditions on the wave and Ebola today.
A bit spoogy on some of the crimps and on the tufas around the black crow, but generally climable.
Not sure how this current deluge will effect things though.

Anyone know if will have remained dry throughout all this rain over the week? Looking for an outdoor venue for the weekend, not ready to resign myself to weekend indoor climbing yet!

Anyone know how Anston handles temp increases of 2-3 degrees?

Free on Wednesday and it currently looks like it may be the best option(?), but I've never been before and don't know much about what impacts conditions here. Looks like its been dry for a few days though so my main concern is condensing?

Can't say for sure how it is affected but there are other crags in the area which will be less affected if it is condensed.

It's considerably more reliable than central peak lime condensation wise in my experience. Rarely seen it wet.

Depends also on wind direction (and if there is any)... main area (wave/bullet/ebola) normally cops a bit of breeze and does OK...

can't help re condensation but the main area (bullet / ebola etc.) was dry and breezy on Saturday, though Frodo's Cave was gopping (as I found out after lots of slipping, stumbling, and sliding up a steep mud slope... and then tumbling back down).

Frodo needs a good dry spell to be decent....

From FB “ Anston mostly condensed today. The odd one doable but generally suggest wait for an 'anti-condensation' weather day or two”

Bullet area etc. Think like everything it condensed on Friday. Sat stuff which got sunlight had dried out but sheltered roofs were still holding moisture, no seepage tho so would expect most stuff to be fine tomorrow

Woodies rock. Fucked

Anyone been this week? Vanilla sky area?

Tomorrow morning, I'll be aiming for another fickle venue nearby, but hoping to have Anston as a backup!

Looked dry and somewhat chalked from the other side of the stream just now, but I'm too lazy to walk all the way around. Main area all seems bone dry.

I've probably left it too late for today anyway, but as a general point, do people imagine/know whether the normal wave area bits would likely be condensed today? It's a bit of a temperature spike (14oC from 10oC yesterday) and overcast according to Metoffice but lowish humidity (65%) and windy (WSW).

I guess it depends how far your travelling, but I factor in the risk of condensing if there's a temp spike of 3 or more degrees on anything really. There's more nuance to it with dew point etc though (there's a thread on the diamond which is useful for this, but coastal stuff is more prone to condensing I think too(?))

Has anyone been recently?

On Saturday before last, I was surprised at how all of the section from "the undercut" to "ebola" was seeping very profusely. I'd most like to try Alpha. I'm sort of tolerant of smeg.
