yep, perfect conditions for all of the bouldering last night. All routes dry apart from the easier ones over to the extreme left. Although this wasn't much consolation for falling off staminaband after getting both hands down onto the finishing undercuts. I could have cried :boohoo:

yeah those wamrup routes like make it funky, mecca and jehovakill looked undry.

today shiz was good in general. chimes dryish - some non-hold wet patches appearing and apparrently the upper wall had seepage, i think PUTP was dry, basically a lot of dry going on on the right side. weedkiller trav looked wet to start with but drying off later.

OK today virtually all the bouldering was dry. routes looked dry appart from all the wet shit at the left hand side, seepage below funky/mecca etc, and the jugs over the lip on chimes.

last night was the best nic at the tor in weeks. As you know its been far too hot, so the rain brought a welcome respite from the heat and humidity. I didnt see any wet or damp holds and it felt quite cool between attempts on stuff.

You don't know what your missing lads!!

Squeaky dry holds, climbing in the sun rather than hiding from it, all whilst the rest of Sheff trash their skin on Burbage North (Good effort Paul).


I take that you don't have an update on Revelations?  ;)

Hey Turboman. How was the Tor today? I can see that Revelations coming together nicely.... Let's hope it stays dry for a few more weeks...

I ventured out to the Tor today (Sat 24th Feb) in a rather hopeful search for some dry rock and was pleasantly surprised at how little seepage there was. Most of the Pinches Wall was dry, as was the start to A Little Extra and the hard direct eliminates to this. Most surprising was that the entire of Ben's Roof was completely dry (even the finishing holds). Quite a few routes looked completely dry too: Sardine, Tin Of, In Brine, The Toilet, Hot Flushes all appeared climbable.

we went today. i think sardine would've been climbable, as would ben's roof with extensive dampness limitation mechanisms used, but everthing else was dripping.

Pretty much dry. Staminaband undercuts a little damp, as were a couple of slots on weedkiller. Little Extra direct undercuts were pretty soaked. Ben's dry. Pinches dry. Powerband dry. PUTP dry. etc.

Was utterly dreadful last night. virtually every boulder problem was either wet or damp with what looked like very heavy condensation and some of it was seepage too. routes looked alright though once off the deck. if anyone goes today or tomorrow please stick an update on here, cos i may scratch my rest-of week plans if it stays like this!
