Don't care if you had all the beta under the sun, its still short and brick!

[Kingy]

They're bloody great these wee routes, short enough to be just a bit longer than extended boulder problems but not long enough for the pump to properly set it. Let the Rubicon Renaissance continue!!

[Jaspersharpe]

All still bone dry last night. Bit humid when it was tipping it down but not too bad.

[Bonjoy]

The crag looked in mint condition today.... unfortunately you'd need a boat to access the rock 
Why does it always flood on Saturday?

[Jaspersharpe]

Went out for a walk with the family and had a quick look today. Still pretty flooded although you could get to Kudos Wall ok. Further on by Caviar etc was still quite bad. Rock all looked dry. I was saying exactly the same thing as you Jon! Why is it flooded now when it's hardly rained but when it's been belting down for a week it's dry?! 

[dave]

cheers the for the heads up guys. tis bizarre the way it can flood from virtually no rain. i can only imagine the water table in general is quite high right now, maybe the ground is saturated so any rain run straight off into the rivers or summert.

[Eddies]

The flood will be the rain from the end of the week, it can take a couple of days for rain to make its way off the hills and into the Wye.

[Bonjoy]

If you look at the rain records on buxtonweather.co.uk it shows that 31mm of rain fell on friday night/saturday morn

[dave]

river showed no signs or retreating during the day today, but for the keen Dang Bros and TOTBB were probably accessable, the 3-tier warmup traverse was pretty muddy, but kudos wall was dry and in reasonable nick.

[El Mocho]

I went down on Sunday to feed the ducks with May (bread, not May to the ducks, although those big swans were looking like they were considering giving her a peck until she started hissing back at them) We came prepared with wellies as it was absolutely hammering it down on Sat night in Tideswell, I wasn't surprised it was flooded.

[dave]

I was going to ask on here if anyone knows if caviar is out of floodage yet, but I think I know the answer.

[dave]

tonights conditions = shite.

[Kingy]

Conditions not amazing tonight but a damn sight better than tues. No moisture in the air and a cool breeze blowing along the crag. The last hour quite good despite the heat.

[Paul B]

Bit hot there today although if you arrived later on then i'm sure it was a lot better. The first bolt on Too old has worked itself loose again.

[Kingy]

Pretty mingsville tonight, in fact the warm up area was unclimbably wet, kudos wall just about OK. Sissy piss wet through. Caviar was workable as was Salar. Most folk didn't even bother to lace up. I hear the Tor was similarly dire.

[Bonjoy]

Sounds like we made the right call dave!

What was the water level like? I know it rain loads in Sheff yesterday and last night, but buxweather is only showing 11mm so maybe the rains missed that side of the peak. 

[dave]

yeah that was a lucky one.

My in-laws were walking in WCJ yesterday and said it rained but nothing like as hard as in the pavement-busting downpour in Sheff. Apparently the rain was light enough so you stayed dry by walking under the trees over the path.

[Kingy]

Eyup! Water level fine as we left the crag, just condensation was the issue. There was no significant rain while we were there but can't speak for what happened after 10pm... Lets hope the mugginess stays away next week!  

[fatdoc]

how is it there guys?

I'd be interested in the 3 tier area...

cheers

[dave]

on sunday it was fine.

[Kingy]

Not bad tonight, rock dry but summert weird going on with the moisture in the air.

[Adam Lincoln]

Not bad tonight, rock dry but summert weird going on with the moisture in the air.

Same moisture at Malham, feet skating everywhere!

[Kingy]

Very good conditions, everything dry, no condensation had formed. Only some water at base of crag in Caviar area but everything accessible.

[Adam Lincoln]

Whats the weather been like last few days, is it likely to be in good nick Friday?

[Jaspersharpe]

Should be spot on I reckon.
