x was condensed to shit last night so was hard to tell how much was seepage but seemed like mainly condensation. Much less humid today so doubt it'll be condensed now.

All okish... Middle of long traverse damp. Kudos etc all ok. Three traverse wall fine. A bit clammy but serviceable conditions with slight breeze. Was a hefty bit short shower as I left that didn't do much damage.

I suspect X might be damp and a bit condensy- BUT I didn't look so that's a guess.

Anyone know how the bouldering is likely to have faired through today and yesterday's rain?

Just back from Rubicon. All fine. No runoff or seepage. Runoff doesn't look like its hit any of the routes to the left of Kudos wall etc.

The unmentionable place up the road was half decent yesterday afternoon/evening. A couple of damp (but dryable) holds... Starting holds on the pinch looked a wee bit suspect and seepage on the sprag hold on Cherokee Lane. Stuff under the roof (the low starts) looked minging though...

All good this morning. A couple of puddles but nothing serious. No seepage, no goo. Of course most of it is now baking in the sun so is probably unbearable. :)

As of 12:30... Traverses mostly condensed - all footholds wet there. Kudos wall fine unless you're doing something with a foothold 20cm off the bottom - where it's damp. Pretty good conditions for Kudos wall tbh - 20 degrees light wind cloud cover.

Suspect X will be wet (didn't check) as its sheltered/tree covered like he trav area at Rubicon. I would guess (guess) that most of the tor is fine except for the depths of the cave...

You're right that the Tor is dry all bar the cave but there is no breeze and it's super greasy, you start sweating just putting your boots (why do I still call them boots?) on and by the time you've greased off you're positively soaking. A few hardy souls are persevering but you probably have better ways to waste your time.

Maybe I have impermeable fingers - or maybe connies were different just down the river, but it was all fine at Pubicron...

Bit of breeze would have made all the difference, you say there was one at Rubicon but if felt full-stop still at the Tor.

All good there today. About as good as it ever gets tbh... dry, cool but not cold... even the endless supply of 'oh are you going to climb that then' walkers has dried up....

Despite this nothing new was achieved :)

Any news on how this is looking after the downpours yesterday? Dry(ish) and windy today I guess...

Quick recce today - good conditions - traverses area all good, just 2 seepage lines on kudos wall, taking out the high holds on kudos and possibly the high crimp on the press..

Wet today, looked like runoff on kudos wall. The warmup traverse bit looked drier if you had a raft to access it.

Yesterday pm kudos wall bone dry, traverse wall dry but half of it above a lake. X was mostly dry too, but would need a brush on most things.

Went for a look at Rubicon yesterday just to see what all the excitement is about over the early lime call.

The traverses wall was condensed out and the ground under it was muddy.

Kudos wall was dry. A bit damp in the Johnny G/Bigger Belly pocket but apart from that, all fine. Slightly muddy underfoot but not enough to cause any issues. It was almost too warm when the sun came out!

All good today. Rain/drizzle miraculously stops when you get to cragx! Traverses damp low - but Kudos wall all fine.
