As of an hour or so ago, Mecca still looking wet, Chimes looking wet, central routes dry, routes on the right seemed mostly dry. Slots at the start of Powerband were a bit wet but probably dryable. Weedkiller slots wettish. Ben's still dry, Keen Roof still soaked.

I was at the snor yesterday and I've never seen it so soaked. The only routes that were climbable were crumblefish, sardine, tin of and another toadside attraction. However even these routes weren't exactly prime and had patches of dampness on them mainly, I think, because of condensation. Bouldering wise, powerband wet, starts to RH routes wet, pinches mostly dry, weedkiller wet.

Popped by for a gander on the way home this evening. Most of the bouldering was damp, I don't know the problems really so don't know if any were climbable, streaks on Weedkiller.

Tin Of, Sardine and Toadside looked ok, Obscene Gesture had a few small lines of seepage but looked climbable, Toilet and Call of Nature looked ok as did the routes just right, everything else was pretty wet.

Scratch that. Really condensed this evening, seepage in the Sardine traverse and on the undercuts on The Toilet and generally miserable conditions. And midgy.

Didnt climb there today but stoppped by at about 4.30pm today, there were lots of damp patches along the crag, weedkiller holds seemed damp, the slots on powerband and the left side of the carg seemed damp, pinches wall looked dry. Lots of damp / wet patches on routes.  May improve tomorrow, hopefully...

I was down there trying Toadside on Monday and the undercuts which I was using for the Sardine crux were seeping by the end of the day, although it was still climable.  There were people on both Tin Of and Sardine early on, but the traverse left looked quite wet by the end of the day.  Of course it could well have dried up by now - I'm not sure how much it has rained over that side in the last few days?

You're shitting me. I've never known Sardine to be wet in nearly 20 years! I guess that's what happens when you have the wettest April on record. Ah well, at least temps are still OK for God's own.

Better than expected today, was having redpoint goes on baby chimes although full chimes was wet, Oli managed call of nature and saw people on out of my tree and toadside. Ben's was also dry apart from foothold people use on the drop knee for the cross through. Mecca and left looked pretty soaked though.

Tor quite good by end of today. Staminaband/Powerband dry. Routes middle and right all dry. Sardine trav wet(!) Think Chimes and leftwards still pretty iffy.

odd problem aside, all the bouldering was a gopping mess at 10am this morning.  Seemed a bit better when I left about 12 but still not great.

Is this down to overnight temperature variations?  Is it best to avoid in the mornings when the temps are so up and down?

from my limited experience it's a catch 22 innit, avoid mornings and it'll burn off but you'll be baked unless you wait 'till late evening, thats what happened last year for me anyway.
