although hot there was at least a breeze in sheffield, but it wasnt at rubicon last night. I Think the wind might have been blowing over the top of the crag, so that down at the bottom of the wall it was rather still and not great by some margin.

The problem with evenings now is that its still warm until it goes dark. When the wind changes it may well be much better. Dark at 2000 at the moment.

We've got high pressure to the west now, meaning a northerly fairly dry, coolish airflow. In fact this has been the case much of the summer. South facing crags like rubicon ain't where its at.

Anyone know if rubicon is dry at the moment? i.e. how big is the lake?

Cheers

Judging by the state of the porter brook yesterday the river wye'll be rising fast. Though its been a dry autumn so far, the water table might soak it all up yet.

Must have started seeping through then. Thats a shame. The mythical year of 04/05 (I think) when it was climbable all year eludes us once more. Has the water level receded underfoot?

It was still looking very waterlogged, the Caviar wall was under water and you had to swing on a few trees to step around the lake at the start - it was lapping at the base of the 3 traverses. Hopefully not beyond repair though! :dance1:

Heyup Tim climbed here on Sunday, all bone dry on kudos. Caviar still flooded. Lake level still fairly high but dropping fast. Just about possible to scamper round the edge without getting a bootfull! I'm keen if you fancy a session at the weekend?

Hi Ted,
         emailed you mate. However would be keen for some updates on the state of the crag this week if anyone is up there. Particularly interested in salar or hot fun closing/kudos guess it would be important if the warm up traverse beneath rubicon was dry.
Cheers
Tim
