Le Saus - Mecca undercut still v wet last night.

Everything right of that ok. Bouldering mostly dry apart from the odd foothold and slightly greasy pocket.

Back Around - bouldering now mostly wet and lots of seemingly dry holds felt spoogey

Toilet area routes look to be holding out but n.b. the spooginess

footholds at the start of Ben's were wet (condensation maybe?) and also the pocket in the break on THFML and low footholds on that (not sure if they're needed for Ben's)

Anyone ventured out today? Would be grateful for conditions update both for bouldering and routes.

Cheers

Ravensdale just round the corner has just taken a soaking if that's any use.

Folk who were at the crag both days said quite a bit wetter today but still lots dry. Mecca undercuts wet and everything left wet but pretty much everything right of evo dry or dryish.

As above, Mecca undercut wet this morning but nearly all bouldering dry, Powerband & Weedkiller slots are good.
Routes in the middle are all good, Rattle and Hump jug wet at the back, Wild In Me flakes seeping which rules out the direct problem

Indeed. Chimes top wall seeping, left of that fully soaked, pb condensed, sb undrrcuts wet, central routes dryish but greasy. Both seepage and condensation got worse during the morning before we sacked it to the works

Thur 28th am visit - even the central routes that have been resisting so long are getting wet now - bottom of Sardine wet on traverse; damp patches on Toilet, Ring of Fire, etc. Bailed to the Works. Sun out now though, so hopefully drying already!

I think its going to need something drastic to sort out this mess the so-called lime-callers have left us this year. According to this old Peak text I have, the rain gods are not easily appeased if the ritual call of the seasons is neglected. However it offers the following solution: 'beneath the seat of the Raven, find the man-horse as he lays with the ever-youthful crab; cast them into the flood waters'.

Doesn't mean much to me but maybe you limeys can offer some insight?

translated as 'start transferring your wages direct to your nearest climbing wall, and give up all hope of ever pulling on a dry (limestone) hold ever again.'

Pretty good this afternoon. Routes around Sardine etc. dry. Ring of Fire dry.

Had a quick look at the right hand end and most of the bouldering seemed dry, Powerband slots all dry.

Who knows, maybe with a bit more witch burning we could salvage a decent limestone season yet?
