I'd appreciate a report please!

In recent days I have noticed an increase in the frequency of peak lime conditions requests from you Andy... is it time for another visit to the dark room with the electrodes again?

It's time for my once-a-year venture onto the limestone to remind myself why I climb on grit...

(also the forecast for tomorrow looks whack so somewhere which can stay dry in the rain would be useful!)

Tor was soaking wet. Run off I think. Every hold on powerband was wet except the big jug. Lots of wet holds on weedkiller, the far rhs was wet. Didn't walk up to Ben's as I don't know what holds are crucial but plenty of it was wet.

Went to Rubicon and looked like great DWS conditions.

Ben's was all bone dry. Sardine okay. Everything else had lots of wet streaks and runoff. Not great at all.

It'll be fucked tomorrow then... Depot it is.

cha1n · April 04, 2015, 07:07:10 pm

Any updates? Hoping to get on Powerband tomorrow.

205Chris · April 06, 2015, 06:30:09 pm

Right hand side still f**cked this afternoon.

cha1n · April 06, 2015, 07:45:51 pm

Thanks for the update. Did you notice if the powerband area was a little damped or properly dripping wet? Thanks.

205Chris · April 06, 2015, 09:04:33 pm

Probably more damp than anything

cha1n · April 07, 2015, 12:42:34 pm

OK thanks.

Really appreciate any updates before 4pm, otherwise I'll probably go myself or try and find some other dry lime.

cha1n · April 07, 2015, 11:06:15 pm

Mostly dry tonight.

Still seepage either side of pinches wall. Powerband was mostly dry, the backs of some of the holds were a little damp but didn't really effect the climbing, however the crux pocket is soaked as the rock is seeping above it. Would guess that it'll be in good nick by tomorrow evening.

How's Mecca looking?

blacky · April 15, 2015, 02:44:50 pm

About 8b+

Staminaband undercuts dry last night if that helps...

haydn jones · April 15, 2015, 03:47:49 pm

Mecca is claimable. On Monday the undercut was wet but it's drying fast and wouldn't be surprised if it's dry tmrw

haydn jones · April 15, 2015, 03:48:55 pm

Climable by alex megos standards anyway.

Jaspersharpe · April 15, 2015, 05:22:49 pm

Anything's claimable at the Tor. There's quite a history actually.

Mirf · April 22, 2015, 08:25:01 pm

Seems to be drying fast. Most routes right of Mecca look dry.Body machine start getting better and may be climbable after another dry week. Pockets on powerband end still moist but all other holds dry.

mrjonathanr · April 23, 2015, 08:14:27 pm

Tor was quite rocky tonight.

Most things were dry, with some dampness in pockets/ break right of pinches and near Rattle and Hump.

It was the rockiness that really concerned me though. Especially the big one, a foot cubed sized, which spontaneously detached itself from the top of Whore area to drop directly onto the road below.

Made a right 'thump'. You may want to take care

blacky · May 05, 2015, 12:55:59 pm

Anyone been to the tor after the rain? How's the right hand side looking?

Rob G · May 08, 2015, 12:54:28 pm

right hand side very dry last night.

haydn jones · May 08, 2015, 02:30:35 pm

Revelations pocket wet last night

205Chris · May 08, 2015, 07:51:42 pm

Right hand end and cave area pretty condensed this afternoon

JamesBryant · May 09, 2015, 08:29:00 pm

Anyone taken a look at the tor today? Anyone see if the cave was dry or any of the right hand walls?

abarro81 · May 09, 2015, 09:12:45 pm

Dry right of and including mecca plus extensions. Wet to the left

T_B · May 10, 2015, 05:34:11 pm

Anyone been today? Thinking about nipping out this pm to boulder. Ta
