most of the stuff that is usually dry tonight was dry, but a bit sweaty, and baking in the sun. not much breeze.

 Haven't been since tuesday, but the tor was in excellent nick then, and I can't imagine it being any different now.... Staminaband was fine, as was everything, basically...

Does anyone know what conditions are like at the moment? It's looking a bit showery and grim most places tomorrow  :thumbsdown:

Get a grip Fatneck, I thought you knew better than that.  You'll be asking about Cave conditions next...

Hey presto... "you" also asked for a Cave conditions report yesterday.  I'd say the smart money is on Rich.  Apparently you are "psyched" for a trip to the Cave.  Clearly not a post by you.

Without going into detail, many problems were workable yesterday with a total fitness towel. What a shit report, glad this isn't my job.

I wish it was my job.  Well, obviously I wouldn't want to have to report on Raven Tor conditions, but providing daily reports on say grit or North Wales conditions would be pretty cool for a day job.  Bubba, any chance of employing me as a professional UKB conditions reporter?  It would make this site unmissable for everyone who's out on the grit during the week.

I suppose there's that guy that goes up Helvellyn every day to take meteorological readings (or was this a myth?). He must be stacked  :jaw:

Busted  :whistle:

It was a little wet in places but we dried off most things and had a good time for a first visit. Going to have to make it a regular venue when its cold and dry  ;)

Anyone been to the Tor this weekend? How much of it is dry, especially at the more punterish end of the scale?

Thanks.

checked out the tor this morning

surprisingly dry, the easy routes were bone dry and the bouldering at the right hand side was in good nick including the powerband surprisingly. Routes  left of tin of were quite dry but unclimbable due to the icicles hanging off

with such good weather, why is anybody of sound mind intrested in the tor. The grit was amazing yesterday and even Dobbin was out crushing at the plantation. He's my new hero now

I'm not even sure I should dignify that with a response. We were interested in the tor because there are things we want to climb there, and because we werent aware that not sharing your grit bouldering-centric world view was such a crime.

Anyway, we ended up at gardoms, which was nice.
