Popped in on way home from the Roaches and it was in very good nick considering it was gopping 2 days ago. Everything looking pretty good from Revelations rightwards. obviously the odd hold might be wet but on the whole amazingly dry.

Ben's roof dry, weedkiller trav just, powerband had damp pockets and crucial damp foothold. Thought I was in Provence yesterday afternoon.

Interesting to note, we checked it out around 11am yesterday and it was generally pretty wet. Looks a few hours in the sun is enough to do the trick and dry it out.

Most of the bouldering suffering from seepage this afternoon. Even damper than on Monday surprisingly.

Slowly. But its pretty rare for it to got wet in the first place - rain rarely hits it so tends to be condensation.

Minus Ten dry today. Some holds in the low break were a bit damp but everything else was bone dry.
Probably worth a look tomorrow afternoon

Dave McLaughlin said it was wet and condensed yesterday morning but dried substantially by end of day. Looks good conditions today. Gotta be worth checking out.

Just back from Tor. Ben's pretty dry, Weedkiller a bit damp but not terrible, Mecca dry, Evo dry apart from a little bit at the bottom, routes above the tree stump piss wet at the bottom, powerband area a bit iffy.

bouldering mostly all dry today. Cave was ok, bens in great condition, weedkiller a bit damp but doable. Powerband area was okish but some slots were damp in the back.

Routes wise they were all mostly dry, apart form the usual suspects, push up start and some of the starting holds of evolution were wet. mecca looked all dry. Everything right of chimes dry.

should all be dry over the weekend as the forecast is good.
