There last night, Sorceress is a bit wet, few bits on Own Narrative are wet too but all in all it didn't seem too bad.

Nearly everything is dry. Only hold on Anti-hero that is wet is a massive sidepull at head height that is seeping but the hold is so big I doubt you'd go near the wet bit (assuming I'm looking at the right line).

This is from last week, not sure how the latest downpour will have changed things:

Sorceress is wet, undercut on Own Narrative is a bit damp but otherwise climbable, Anti-Hero is dry for the short version but one of the crimps is wet for the long, Cracked Up is dry. Outside of the cave is unlikely to be dry as it rained this morning.

The stuff at the entrance is dry. Enchantress has a couple of damp holds but still climbable. Everything further in is wet.

Thought everything would be drier.

That has deteriorated a lot since yesterday! Only wet hold was the rail on antihero that I have never seen dry. Couple other bits were mildly moist but would have been fine with a little chalk.

Hit or miss. Might be mint, might have condensed with the heat... I'd check but my car has died.

Everything was dry today other than Anti Hero, which was possibly wetter than normal, go figure.

Have never been to FR, is it likely to be in decent fettle on Sunday? Forecast looks dry Sunday but possible heavy shower or two n Sat.

I think it should be fine.

It's been similar weather for the past couple of weeks and everything except Antihero and Cracked Up has been dry when I've been there.

Have been three times in the last three weeks. First time it was pretty much all dry, second two times the cave bit on the right (Enchantress and rightward) was condensed on arrival (mid morning). First time it dried out with some help from a rag enough to do Own Narrative by about 2-3pm, the second time it was improving through the day but was still mostly wet on the right by late aft. I'd have thought with current humidity it would be fairly condensed on the right. That said, stuff left of Enchantress should be dry whatever, though does catch the sun between late morning and late aft. Got round this on Heathen Chemistry by hanging a t-shirt over the crucial holds
