similar to friday, powerband pockets wet in the back, but the cave all dry apart from the starting pocket of cave problem.

Blackwell pretty wet, both seans and beginners soaked.

Squirrel Buttress was in great nick though, Candy Kaned is at the top of the list now.

Had a look at the extension on Wednesday (just after I clipped the Mecca belay  ;D)
Quite a bit of damp up there.  I'd stay in stay in Spain if you want another 8c...

Mostly it was oaky doky this morning. A few of the holds had that damp chalky gunk in them but a bit of brushing sorted them out. Improved through the morning but I left at 12, guess it will have got better through the afternoon. whether it will survive the rain and fog tonight and tomorrow is anyones guess

Grim today. Condensed in the morning and an inferno by the time the sun came round.

I didn't check the bouldering out but I'm guessing it was mint. Sunday was good from what I heard again this morning 8am-1pm it was cool and dry on the left hand end and then baking hot which should leave those nasty pockets nice and dry.

A bit of clag today after the rain. Not horrendous but noticeable after 5 moves or so. At least it wasn't 1000 degrees

weedkiller area dry, bens roof dry, people on powerband area though I didn't look at footholds. routes looked reasonable to my punter eye except left hand side which still looks like shit.

stopped off at beginner's wall, man of steel pockets seeping and wet sloper, generally ok but bad in all the needed areas. Pant it black seeping but across the road looked bone dry and in the sun.

Left hand side still wet (indecent exposure) middle dry and right hand side dry bar the odd wet hold. Plenty of people bouldering and redpointing despite not being prime conditions.

Sunday was a bit worse than Friday (seepage coming through from the snow?) - starts on the left wet, also some big wet streaks higher up on that side of the crag. Mecca ok but you had to be careful which footholds you used on the easy first section, make it funky looked pretty wet, evo had a wet hold in the roof, routes further right looked ok, didn't check the bouldering.

Good conditions this morning.

Too Hard for Mark Leach all dry, Weedkiller traverse dry, the odd small damp patch on Basher's Problem but nothing making it unclimbable.
Pinches Wall all dry.

Didn't really look further down the other end but Boot Boys start etc looked ok.

Tor pretty good again this morning.

Some greasy holds around the start of weedkiller in the break, looks to be slight seepage coming through the cracks, nothing that can't be brushed away though.

The endless water torture dripping was driving me mad.

Yesterday: Left of mecca all wet. Mecca dry but extension had wet jug before moving right. Bottom of evo fairly wet. Ben's roof dry I think but keen roof wet. Weedkiller etc ok. Further right generally ok I think.
