Bouldering wise ben's roof, weedkiller, pinches wall and staminaband were all dry by the end of today

[205Chris]

Anyone been down today and know the state of things?

[gcarmichael]

Only really looked at boulders - ben's roof, weedkiller, staminaband (few damp holds), pump up the power, out of my tree, boot boys and saline drip were all dry. Know that mecca was a damp around undercuts but rest of it was dry and wild in me was dry.

[205Chris]

Good knowledge, cheers.

[gcarmichael]

does anyone know if staminaband was dry this afternoon? was there yesterday and the slots at the start of powerband never dried out fully

I was mainly routing today but had a brief fondle of the powerband pockets. Didn't feel completely dry to me but that was around lunchtime so may have got better as the day went on.

[gcarmichael]

thanks chris, yeh hopefully they will have dried out in the sun this afternoon!

Anyone had a look today?

[Nigel]

I left yesterday about 5 o'clock. Everything right of Mecca was dry and in good nick by then. It didn't rain yesterday or last night so no reason for things to have changed.

[dave]

Anyone got any updates on how its looking in this drought we're having?

[fiveknuckle21]

If your just bouldering its all dry. The pod in the middle of Keen Roof is wet but yer everything else, powerband pockets, staminaband undercuts, putp slot all dry.

[dave]

Nice one, cheers.

[dave]

As of now: bens roof dry, pinches wall 70% dry. Saline drip and boyband dry. Everything else wet or damp to some extent.

[The Sausage]

Mecca updates anyone?

[dave]

I think it may have had some drips cominf down it.

[Steve R]

Mecca updates anyone?

Undercut wet but looked about climbable after drying (from belayers perspective) yesterday.  Situation probably worsened today though?

[The Sausage]

Cheers folks, thought that might be the case. According to Buxton weather site, there was half as much rain in buxton yesterday, compared to the total rainfall for march!

Headed down this evening, wasn't too bad considering, mecca and chimes looked dry, sardine up to call of nature too (people on sardine). Ben's roof had the odd damp foothold, most of the routes/bouldering on right hand side seemed to have wet holds on, bodymachine area was soaking.

[Three Nine]

Mecca pretty wet (as is everything to the left). Chimes pretty wet (especially on top wall), though climbable for some (not me). Routes to the right ok, as was most of the bouldering. Strangely enough pband slots etc. all ok.

[The Sausage]

Mecca was dry/dryable from 2nd undercling to top yesterday evening. Left hand gaston, 1st undercling & pocket all gopping.
Any updates from today/tomorrow much appreciated.

Today Mecca looked same as yesterday, though nobody on it. Top wall of chimes still wet, Keen Roof wet, Weedkiller now quite wet. Right hand side still seems to be holding out fairly well.

[Duncan Disorderly]

Shocked at how wet it was today - Weedkiler and leftwards looked soaking, Mecca looked pretty damp (although I have to admit I didn't look that hard ), everything to the left of that looked wetter than I've ever seen it (then again I don't tend to go to the Tor in the winter ).

Tin of\Sardine\Toadside area was dry but In Brine, Obscene Gesture et al had some wet patches (unsure if these affect crucial sections).

Far right inc bouldering was ok but I'd suggest care at the tops if on the routes as it was getting pretty wet up there....

Drought my arse!

:D

Undercling? 
Didn't go on it but it looked in a bad way yesterday. Not only was the lh crimper/gastone and both underclings wet, but there was a big streak down the wall just right of the dihedral. Wouldn't rate your chances of stemming up it yesterday 

[Nigel]

Went for a look today. Everything from Sardine (yes, even that!) leftwards unclimbable. Some of that is just the odd damp patch admittedly, but lets face it it ain't gonna dry while its still raining! Possibilities start to open up right of that - Call Of Nature, Hot Flushes (but not new variation), Boot Boys, Wild In Me all looked mainly dry. Other stuff had wet holds on i.e. PUTP, R&H.

Boulderers - don't bother unless you're on Hooligan Start.

All that said, anyone fancy having a dabble on the aforementioned dry routes tomorrow?

[gcarmichael]

was at the tor this evening and as nigel said most things were wet. ben's roof, thfml, little extra, hooligan, influx, staminaband start and saline drip were the only problems which were dry. r&h had very wet start holds and powerband footholds were mostly damp.
