Anybody know if its dried out down there this week from all that snow melt?? There was only the cave partly dry last Saturday, everything else was drenched, the worst I've ever seen it.

January isn't known for being dry on the lime. When it was cold I expect the seepage froze, giving dry rock, but it would need to stop raining for a couple of weeks before it would be decent I expect.

my trusty diary says i did the press at rubicon 11 January last year. I remember it was mint there that day, as well as ben's roof at the tor. I think the reason i was on the lime was cos i had crap skin  :shrug:

Been down today, and while the bottom end is still really bad, the majority of the crag is really starting to dry out. All of Sardine area is well dry, as is evolution area and most of Mecca.
Bens roof in pretty good nick as well.  :great:

Whole crag super dry nows, aside a few little patches. There was rather a large rock/ice fall today, seemed to come from the top of The Prow area, narrowly missed the car as it came down. Guessing its just the whole freeze/thaw thing.

The question begging is what the fuck you were doing at the tor today on what is probably the best day of the grit season so far  ???

Mostly wet, but drying out. Ben's Roof all good though.

You could probably dry alot of the problems if keen.

Was on 'The Missing Link' and pulled a large-ish flake off just above the thin break, hasn't really changed the moves at all though.
Everywhere was pretty wet besides the cave and stuff around Sardine.

When was that do you know? Sunday was all screwed but lots of that was just runoff which should have cleared up by now...
For peak lime lovers if the tor is wet is wet this weekend Minus ten was almost all dry today (only white ladder affected by seepage), Tom's roof was soaked, and the routes around Little Plum looked perfect.
