Just got back and been there every day from last Sunday on (except Wednesday) and pleased to say it's in pretty decent condition, been getting a bit better each day. Some pockets still wet but plenty of do-able stuff to warrant a trip. A bit of a windy chill factor today but perfectly manageable and it was deffo drying the crag as we were in situ. Bear in mind it's set to get very cold going into the weekend, with snow on Sunday?

You must be on the opposite shift to me. Been there Saturday, Wednesday and today.
Like you said, improving with every visit.

Went to Tor and.. there was wet rock everywhere,excepting sardine/toadside/in brine. Even pinches had wet footholds.On a positive note,there were also alot of patches of dry rock so I imagine a spell of settled weather would make alot of routes/problems doable.

Went to the Tor today, 24 dec. Everything Right of the pinches wall is seeping badly. All routes left of Ben's roof sopping. Ben's roof itself is OK within the cave though the lip is wet. Tin off, Sardine might be OK but wouldn't bet on it. Avoid!

Predictably very wet yesterday, though weirdly Ben's Roof was totally dry. The crimp is still disappointingly small tho

Will it be dripping tomorrow?
Haven't been climbing outdoors for ages, but exams are finished now and I'm well keen! Either the Tor or Stoney tomorrow!

Can I just say, that going to the tor in this weather is really keen. And thats coming from me - a tor lover.

It is keen. However I've sacked it off now as I think I'd struggle to get to the bus stop!
Oh well, fingerboard it is!

I've developed an urge for steep crimpy bouldering.... only matched by ignorance as to how Peak limestone crags drain.
So...
if the weather stays fairly dry, are Kudos, Raven and Beginner's Wall likely to be dry on saturday / sunday? At this time of year do these crags obey the normal rules of being dry after a few days without rain? OR do they seep throughout winter and can't be touched until the official "calling of the lime" in Spring?
Replies that involve the phrase "Minus Ten" will be met with hollow laughter (amidst tearful memories of being spanked by f5's!).

I called at the Tor this evening (Fri 27th) - just for a look, no intention of climbing - and it was fairly damp. Powerband slots were wet. Pinches wall was half wet - a few problems would be possible but it would be a miserable affair. Ben's roof looked largely dry but I didn't examine all the holds. Saline Drip wall was dry if that takes your fancy. Beginner's Wall was wet and the wall opposite Sean's Roof was soaking, as you would expect at this time of year.

As it should be at this time of year.
Pex Hill was pretty grim this evening too BTW.

Sharma was at the Tor on saturday so some of it must have been climbable. I was going to ask him how dry it was at the MCC lecture last night but didn't in the end
Hasn't he ever heard of the calling of the lime?!

RHS largely dry - powerband slots started out slightly damp but got dried out and stayed that way, same for OOMT, pinches dry etc. Peeps on ben's roof and weedkiller so I presume they're ok though I didn't check.

Arrived at the tor early afternoon to find it warm but climbable. Things improved as the temps dropped... just as I was leaving.
S/band & P/band slots and undercuts all dry. Foot holds all a little wet.
Ben's roof, fine.
Keen roof and Steve's thing were wet in places.
Kristian deserves some +ve Karma for spending literally hours stabilising a hold on Make it Funky.
