Where was everyone?? Back on the grit...?

down two tier, you had to queue to get on some routes!

[Andy B]

Perfect conditions tonight. Everything was dry but not glassy. Cloudy with a pleasant breeze, but only five of us and two other people there all evening. mmm, mmm.

[richdraws]

Is Raven tor likely to be dry this evening after this afternoons heavy showers? x

[Andy B]

I would guess yes.

[Falling Down]

I would guess yes.

I was there on my lonesome on Tuesday evening to catch half an hour before the sun went down. Everything was dry apart from dampness in a couple of pockets.  Not that I can do anything hard at the moment.. 

[richdraws]

I lost the Faith I am afraid, I sacked it off in favour of a board session.

The words "Toughen up princess" are ringing in my ears.

[Oli]

What are the chances of the tor being dry this evening after the showers this afternoon?
I'd like to think it would be, but haven't been around Shef for a bit so don't know how dry it was before the rain...
Thanks.

[Oli]

Cheers. I suspected as much, will have to mentally prepare myself to get spanked now...

[Monolith]

Anyone any word for tomorrow?

[Paul B]

Raining in Sheffield now, has been drizzling a lot all day.

[Monolith]

Will revise the script then, nice one g.

[dave]

stuff could be getting a bit damp but say even if powerband got soapy then weedkiller and bens would be dry, not to mention pinches wall.

[Oli]

Just come back from there. Most stuff was staying dry in the rain, although when we left the rain had started to come into the crag a bit more. I didn't touch powerband, but my friend said some of the pockets were soapy and the breaky thing that runs along that section of crag looked like it was starting to seep. Some others there commented that weedkiller felt soapy as well, but can't verify this.

Anything in particular you want to know about?

[The Sausage]

anybody been down there today? how's the right hand end (i.e. Staminaband) looking?

Was there last night (Thu). Only people at the crag! Windy, fresh and no grease - brilliant conditions. On routes on the left, but stuck my fingers in the Powerband pockets and they were all dry, as were the footholds.

Top groove of Proud Whore now a bit harder as I pulled off a big undercut.

[Bonjoy]

I bet that was a good fall. Did you do PW?

[T_B]

Nah, it's not the easiest route to try and get done after work. Didn't have time to de-pump for a second RP. Climbed back up to my high point and proceded to pull the rest of the undercut off and take another whipper (doh). Just had time to work out that the top groove now has to be climbed very direct with slightly more difficulty. Probably an even better route though, as you can't really be drawn left for a move onto a big sidepull flake on The Crucifixion (which also felt like it could be pulled off quite easily...)

[Fiend]

Apparently a bit sunnier and breezier around the left-hand end now...  ???

[Somebody's Fool]

Hilarious stuff.

[Andy B]

Everything was climbable last night, but with slight dampness in the powerband slots, and on ben's traverse, although things got blacker and damper towards the end of the evening.

[T_B]

Tor is a mess of condensation this afternoon apparently.

No fucking kidding! I don't know what the point of this page is if I just ignore statements like that 

More explicitly - everything right of pinches wall is drenched, as is Ben's Roof, and probably any pockets in between!

[T_B]

Still pretty mingin last night. Only route action. Weedkiller Trav greasy. Everything right of pinches wall was damp, though drying slowly.
