Cheers

Might have a drive past on way home if no-one replies before then. Has not rained much today in Buxton if that helps?

left side fairly fucked, weedkiller is a shit state and very humid but Ted was getting through chimes without mention of spooge. People bouldering and doing routes on right hand side, central routes okay just a touch goppy but still climbable.

In summary, good old tor.

Sorry I didn't venture past the weedkiller slots which were starting to seep through, Mal fell out of them doing a pull up. I don't know how that helps your question.

keen was wet, though with enough chalk was probably dryable.

When I was at the Tor on Saturday morning (31st) the crag had suffered a lot of new seepage, namely the mecca undercut and a very large wet streak from the good pockets on the extension.

Hopefully it will dry out again soon, I'd appreciate an update.

Was good last night until the gop descended about 9pm. Central section looked fine but right hand end was starting to suffer a bit

Undercut on Mecca were wet yesterday morning and the pockets (on the extension) had created big streaks down the wall, plus the odd foothold was wet.

Folk were on Rattle and Hump down the right hand end so I think it was in nick. Good dry conditions in general tonight but some bad lingering seepage on the Mecca undercuts and extension pocket. Kabaah niche was only a little damp but got worse when the sun went down.

In these conditions, best to climb in the evening after a sunny day when seepage is minimised.

Nice and fresh this morning with an on-crag breeze and sun. No sign of the rain that was forecast. Most stuff dry - slightly damp in the back of some slots and some seepage.

Bailed out of our planned chee tor trip when the rain came in so heade to the tor. The usual patch of wetness on indecent end tho probably 3m wide. Various amounts of dampness and seepage on most routes up to chimes. Pretty dry from there rightwards, slots on powerband dry but toothpastey. Plenty of activity on Sunday.

Was there from 12:1:30 - condensey at first - stuff in the open was drying and OK after a attempt or two (ie weedkiller was alright).. Bens and stuff in the cave was pretty condensed in places - starting holds of bens were goppy... Lots of midges too, so thinking of Shark I did a few laps on Saline drip and bailed... :)

Unsure of what it will be like now.. probably climbable but a long way from primo...

Surprisingly not too bad today. RH still gopped out but Cave problem stand / THFML & weedkiller slots OK. Ben's Roof still condensed but drying back.

Routes at the left hand side / middle section dry.
