Assuming the bat ban has now lifted - has anyone been down in the last couple of days? Would hugely appreciate any recent knowledge on wetness.

Noticed on facebook that James Squire has been there recently. He said that the ban is not officially lifted yet but made no mention of conditions.

The name not lifted yet, he's contacted natural England but need to wait for them to send an official inspector over.

Name = ban obvs. James was just there to check for bats, not climbing.

Yeh I suppose my post could have been interpreted as him climbing there instead of checking it out. I'm sure he had a good look at what was dry though!

Given the amount of rain that's fallen in the last couple of days i'd steer clear for a bit anyway.

No idea on conditions, but James has just confirmed on fb that it's open.

Thanks for the heads up. Is the stuff to the left of the cave (Freshly Squeezed to Pop for the Top) climbable?

Most of crag dry, from left to peketts traverse. Maybe couple of damp holds. A few drips across the arch, you could probably climb across it after a bit of drying on the odd hold

Anyone been down recently? Is it dry or has it seeped with the recent rain? Thinking about heading down tomorrow evening.
