Does anyone know what Ben's Roof is like at the moment?
I'd be keen to join you for a Thursday session on this... if that is what you are planning John?!

You've read my mind Rich! My cave project is too wet to link at the moment so I thought i'd go back to the Tor and try and finish this off. I'll get in touch when I know if i'm definitely going.

Has any one been in the past couple of days? Just wondering if much seepage has started to come through?

Routes Dry from mecca to weedkiller-ish, ben's roof and weedkiller region all still dry, pinches wall and the stuff just right dry, further right was a write off - run off coming all the way to the floor at points, don't think it's seeping on the slots, just too much coming down from above...

Has anyone been since Sunday? Is the Ben Roof's area still holding out to the wetness?

Hey John, Ben's and Tumbleweed were all dry yesterday. A bit of temporary runoff had affected the right/left hand ends of the crag but no long term seepage apparent yet

It was fucking death cold today and pretty dry also. I don't really know many problems there but it looked like the fiinsh jug of rattle and hump was wet. Ben's roof area was still primo.

Starting to go downhill... the end is near tor lovers, shed a tear with me
Staminaband wet on undercuts and sloper from run off, as were the upper sections of all the routes at that end.
PUTP damp and getting damper from runoff (section above boulder problem was screwed)
Powerband damp in some slots but climbable
Weedkiller area largely dry, but stuff starting to come through on the lower holds of tumbleweed
Chimes was apparently starting to get wet
Lots of runoff on the top sections of the toilet and call of nature, tin of - obscene gesture had people on them though.

the violence, poise and skill needed to send that sort of route is rarely caught on camera.
I'd forgot just how god damn hard this shit is

Checked the tor today. Only climbable bits were Ben's Roof which to my uneducated eye looked completely dry and Pinches Wall which was dry apart from footholds to the left. In general it was drier than I expected and wouldn't take much to dry more out.
At Stoney Minus Ten was wet apart from a small patch to the right of Sean's Problem and the two Londoners making the most of it said that they had called in at Rubicon earlier but found it soaking.
The Foundry was a bit greasy because they had the heaters on but otherwise was in good nick.

Tor bouldering mostly dry today on the right side. Out of my tree had an icicle coming out of the pocket though and the Powerband footholds were wet but everything else in good nick. Think Ben's was dry but didn't check close up, Weedkiller damp.
