lots of greasy holds/slots at the PB end of the crag, didn't look that closely but certainly R&H pocket smeggy and others looked damp.

Someone on Mecca Extension today so apparently ok.

Central routes all fine.

Cave damp, Ben's/Weedkiller reported a bit smeggy.

Tor in v good nick on Tuesday. All routes right of Mecca seemed to be bone. People on Chimes and Evo. Cave area bouldering bone. Poweband area all looked dry (didnt climb but had a fondle). The starts on the left looked climbable (to an untutored eye).

Someone has left a rope and draws below Mecca. Look in reasonable nick. Apparently they've been there for a week or two. If nobody claims them by next week im going to have them.

If nobody claims them by next week im going to have them i'll try harder to reunite them with their owner, then after countless forum posts on both here and the darkside, i'll put them to good use

If anyone goes to the Tor today could you have a quick peak at Mecca and see if it is looking dry?

Specifically the undercut as it was pretty damp last weekend.

Undercut didn't look great today I'm afraid. Rest of Mecca looked fine though.

Not bad conditions this afternoon. Cave area dry, central routes dry. Even Powerband slots mostly dry.

From Jules who's just been to look: "whole crag completely soaked. Not a single dry hold here, not even on Ben's. Mostly condensation/run off I think, but hard to tell about seepage".

Thought folks might appreciate an update from this afternoon. Lots of dripping/seeping. Cave mostly ok, weedkiller was greasy/sticky rather than damp if that makes sense, pinches dry, powerband area looked gash but I didn't enquire too closely.

It would be fair to summarise as fucked. We were there all day today. Around the cave, if it's not bens roof, it's not dry.

Powerband was oddly dry. As far as the bouldering goes, that's it.

Everything soaked today except Ben's Roof. A few wet holds on Ben's which are currently dry-able. Not great conditions so everything a bit condensed, but also lots of seepage too.

Timely, right above the @isitgreasy tweet was this one:

Quote from: @moonclimbing
The Tor today was totally soaked. More rain forecast so that's it till the spring. Looking forward to a winter of training. I'll be back.

Went today, utterly minging with the exceptions: Little Extra, Boot Boys and Saline Drip. Everything else encased in ice, sub zero all day.
