I'd be genuinely amazed if it were dry - as it seeps after a while - but could well be wrong. If there's a northerly wind you've a chance I recon..

'kin shite weather..... :(

Always worth checking the river level:

Which surprisingly is fairly low. Let me know how it is!

Of interest to someone keen to get out despite the foul weather might be that Sheep Shifter at Cave Dale was looking very much permadry today. Sheep Eggs was soaking.

No idea - but the name is probably now ironic :D

(sorry Haydn - deeply unhelpful answer - though stuff on the left is far more resilient than anything right of the wall/fence)

I was there on Monday and everything right of the fence seemed unclimbable (left side all bone, including the Creosote jug); I didn't actually look at FFTMC but the back wall was running and the undercut and pocket on Under the Greenwood Tree were pretty unusable. Could be much better after the warm weather we've had in the last couple of days though.

Went today, back wall still wet, dripping in places. Not a lot of change from Droyd’s visit on Monday, left of wall all good but main section of the roof still wet from Chiggers slot to back wall.

Drying up nicely, Chiggers all good today.

Any links to vids for the A6 probs on the left? Having to sneak short sessions in while keeping my two littluns occupied for the foreseeable so not much scope for working out beta!
