Right hand end was ok by mid afternoon with just about enough clouds to break up the sun.  I think last couple of days things have been condensing terribly overnight/morning then becoming passable later on.

Any news on the LHS at the moment?

Thinking of getting down Tomorrow and/or Sunday and want to get on Indecent Direct or Pushup..

Any signs of seepage?

Thanks,

:D

Its been pretty dry recently so any seepage will be a way off yet. Indecent direct is bone dry.

There's a slight risk of condensation but I reckon it will be fine. Bizarrely deserted when I drove past yesterday.

Tor was a bit on-off today...

Left hand side was all fine until the sun hit then everything went too pot...... Wasn't tooo slipery for the hands but felt like some kind of torture being up there for any length of time.

Right hand side including pinches wall and powerband (didn't go above these over here) was pretty minging, damp to the touch with a generous helping of clart... Didn't stop one guy there nearly ticking Bens Roof tho... :strongbench:

:D

A nut on a bolt must have worked loose on the 2nd pitch of The Prow (up and left from the top of the tufa) as it and the hanger pinged off when I fell off higher up today. 

The nut and hanger are on the Indecent stump.  I'll be back on it next Monday and will take a spanner to replace unless someone has already done it.

Condensed like hell early this morning. Dried off later, thought the left hand side then got wet from rain blowing in and the middle seemed a bit greasy. No seepage I noticed though.

Tor in good nic today.

I got a bit confused before- it was the hanger from the bolt level with body mahime belay that had come off.  Anyway, the hanger had gone from the Indecent stump so I placed a new one & nylock nut on the bolt.

Any word from today?  It's getting colder next couple of days so guess condensation won't be such an issue but has the seepage started?

I heard second hand that it was good there today, but I'm not sure how reliable the original sources are.

All the routes on the left were bone dry today, apart from Out of Body experience top roof that was wet from  runoff. I didnt venture down the RHS but think there may have been a bit of runoff there, no seepage tho.
