It has shade in the morning for sure, until quite late this time of the year (I think). I seem to remember that the routes may be wet in midwinter as well.

I thought this thread was going to be full of snide but slightly humorous comments about sharp pockets and long walk ins.

This might well be too late to be useful, but a mate was there today and Hidrofobia and surrounding routes are wet.

Not too late! Just got to Spain... Don't suppose he mentioned if l-mens and the other stuff a bit further left but still on the back wall was dry?

I asked him if the routes around Hidrofobia were dry and he wrote back to say that the right hand side was very wet. 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏼‍♂️
