Sorry to hear about the wasted journey.I guess northerlies aren't so good as they will tend to blow over the top. It must have rained just before you got there as I don't think there was a rising temperature on Saturday (it was certainly cold at my house). I'm genuinely surprised the boulders still remained wet after 2 hours. I guess it doesn't help to know that Doylo and crew had good conditions the day before at Porth Nefoedd. Or that in all the years I've been bouldering down there I can only recall the odd day when the rock was too wet to climb (I did meet Andy Swann walking out once looking very dismayed given that he'd travelled a significant distance to get there only to find damp rock).Thinking about the wind direction - a strong onshore south westerly can mess things up too, blowing too much spray into the boulder field.One other thought: were the rocks around the Mynydd y Graig escarpment (Rhiw) not dry? Clwt y Fiaren for example is well exposed to the wind. We once rescued a sea level session (massive waves and too much spray) by going here.
The norm is to drive through torrential rain to find a glorious Lleyn not the other way round .
If anyone's in the vicinity a broadly Scouse contingent will be hitting the Rhiw hillside on Saturday and Ysgo/Talfarach Sunday in honour of some twat's birthday...
Really excited about visiting here tomorrow for the first time. Does anyone have any good knowledge of where we can doss in our van overnight? Cheers!
