Because grit won't help you climb hard sport routes

What does he know, he was shit.
I genuinely don't think there's much cross-over between grit bloc and lime sport. 6 8c climbers at anston today, how many at stanage?!

Don't encourage them. The crags are busy enough as it is. You guys should definitely stay on the Limestone. You'll get very weak climbing on the grit.

The start is out for the routes on the left but dry above if you want to dog past. Most other routes look dry.

Tor utterly fucked with condensation today. No idea what this will mean for the next few days as the way condensation works is beyond me!

There's no point in going now anyway.

Everyone knows that Lime ticks don't count until Mr Harris or his glamorous assistant says so.

Went yesterday, when we arrived all the bopudlering from little extra to the right hand car park was soaked, by the time we left (half 4) it was nearly dry so I guess by tomorrow it should be dry. Unfortunately bens roof was still soaked when we left because of the lack of breeze getting into the cave. Routes from and including  tin off to call of nature looked in great nick, some of the holds on the upper wall of chimes were a little wet.

As of thursday mecca looked good for working but a few wet holds near the bottom, not sure whether condensation would have made it worse since then, when I was there was a strong breeze keeping the worst of the condensation off by the time we left, looked like given a few hours things would be drier (RHS soaking when we got there but some dry holds by the time we left)
