Hope you managed to get some in moose. For future reference, the three tiers area is pretty much always dry in summer, although usually has a muddy landing. Kudos wall tends to get wet streaks down it in ultra heavy rain - although was fine tonight.
Raven tor is probably your best bet for things to do in prolonged periods of rain.

Stupidly checked it out earlier, flooded up to a foot, after the bridge and under caviar. Lots of wet streaks on the kudos wall :thumbsdown:

Cheers woz - I went on saturday and all the stuff in the peak guide was dry (albeit with a muddy landing under the initial traverses section) and stayed dry throughout the intermittant rain. 

I think Rubicon could well become a complete favourite: easy access, generally dry, nice warm-ups (really liked the two lowest traverses at the RHS), good problems (with some "name" ticks to aspire to... mojo-tastic), lots of eliminate potential, and most importantly a large population of moorhens and coots.  What I wouldn't give to have the place on my doorstep.  Think I might put out a beta plea for some of the problems I worked on before my next visit though - it's a bit unrelenting to waste time with duff sequences.

that low traverse is one of my favourite 6-move limestone previously-B6 traverses in the wye valley.

It might be B6 if you do in in only six moves.

Rubicon dry today. You can get past without getting feet wet now. Kudos wall is all dry, as are the routes. Get in!

Still flooded yesterday evening. Water right up to the base of caviar, which is covered in wet streaks. You need a pair of waders to get to Kudos wall!

apparently the rocks are dry, but the approach isnt (and wont be), take your wellies and a tarp and I am sure it will be fine.

it was wet last night, a bit muddy underfoot but - significantly - still a shit venue. you could get past the puddle but most stuff was wet. and it's raining today. hopefully, someone will have the vision to pull the whole place down and build a laser quest.

Is it fuck! I went last night and Caviar in particular is fully sacked. The start is ok to the sidepull then its fucked from there up. Tribes is wet, Dangerous brothers too, too old to be bold looks dry (but its still shit), Kudos is wet, bigger splash is fine, press is fine, low right start climbable, left isnt, three 5b travs damp but climbable, and rubicon roof and routes to left all sacked.

Cheers for that, good to have the knowledge. Maybe worth a visit if Press is dry if nothing else... :boohoo:

Kudos wall was fine yesterday
The three traverses bay was ok just a little damp mud underneath
but fine with a mat, plenty of spider webs to clear off though.
Start of Caviar was ok, but looked damp higher up, but sunshine like today
will soon put it right.

Have never climbed here in the evening, always done the early am start to catch the cool temps.. whats it like late afternoon? shit shift patterns at work mean I cant get there in the am.. dont really fancy driving down from hudds in the afternoon to be greeted by a greasy wall!
