there was alot of condensation today. it will probably be ok having had the heat of the day on it. sardine to toilet were ok, powerband end had people incredibly climbing on it despite it being green from condensation. it was a million degrees though

Any change? 
I heard on the grapevine it was completely gopping a few days ago but was hoping this was just condensation.

Good conditions this morning despite the humidity.

On another note (and for want of a better place to put this) people have been having fires again at the base of Mecca/Evo.  The stone circle has been built up again making it more substantial and inviting. Although there was not much rubbish left there was plenty of bottle tops and fag ends around the outside of the fire.  This morning the embers were still steaming hot which was hard to see with all the ash and gave us a bit of a shock when we realised how close the rope was getting to them.  I've thrown the stones into the nettles, put what water I had left on the embers and kicked some dirt over the top and if I remember I'll bring a spade next time I'm there (to bury any chance I have of doing mecca hahahaha) to turn the ground over.  I've also removed all the finger tape and rubbish from the base of the crag up to pinches wall btw

Word from Keith is that it's horribly condensed again this morning but reckons sun and wind should burn it off this afternoon

The routes were mostly dry by mid-afternoon but the right-hand side low stuff looked pretty damp. Hot though!
