I was there this morning, conditions were awesome, not cold but quite windy. Powerband was fairly dry I believe but still some seepage on chimes, mecca and Make it funky. Weedkiller, ben's roof all doable.

powerband sopping today, ditto for staminaband. ben's roof looks doable but not dry by any means. weedkiller soaked, pinches wall was 85% dry. all the up problems like little exta, undercuts, OOMT, PUTP, R&H were wet. could have improved after we left (3ish) but i doubt it, it was warm and fairly humid.

you're not shitting me. on the other hand, the peeps doing sardine-esque routes seemed to be finding plenty to keep them entertained.

very warm last night. pinches wall dry bar the streak near bearclaw. little extra+undercuts 95% dry, climbable. all the up problems above powerband fine, powerband a touch soapy but OK, staminaband undercuts a bit slick. weedkiller again soapy deep in the slots but doable, and bens roof fine bar the jug on the left (although i forgot to check the start.

The start was fine, and indeed - it was warm.

all the bouldering, with the probably exception of bens traverse, seemed dry last night. although i didn't get chance to check bens roof out.

checked the tor last night, pinches wall was OK, as was bens roof (touch damp at the start maybe) but the rest of the bouldering felt wet/damp. some things might have just been dryable.... this was at about 5:20 so it could have improved later....or got worse.

mainly routes looked ok, people were on them.

It wasn't great and got worse as the night progressed (much like my session). There were refugees from the WCJ Cornice at the crag, apparently this was in a bad state last night.

shite tonight. almost all the bouldering was wet or damp, bar most of pinches wall and the end of bens roof. routes seemed dry, though it was very humid and sweaty. someone's also left a black sweatshirt and an orange Rock Pillars slipper at the crag.

A few people were at Rubicon, including Kristian who had retreated from the tor after finding it mysteriously deserted. Most unusual, it's normally rammed on a thurs and conditions were good too  :-\
