Rock was fine today, still no seepage. A bit of water and mud under the warm-up trav and Caviar but nothing insurmountable. BTW there are a couple of palates stashed behind the trees right of Kudos wall for keeping pads out of the mud when trying Caviar etc post-flood.

Everything dry yesterday evening except some of the very low footholds on Kudos wall and the easy traverse bit. Pretty muddy underfoot but not flooded.

Crag X gopping by the way even though it was bone dry Wednesday. :furious:

Was it dry under kudos? (on kudos?) Do we need wellies for the approach?
Ta,

Good conditions last night.  The tide was coming in under Caviar, suspect left side of crag could be flooded by now.

Anyone been today? Flooded again? Has there been a deluge over that way over the last day or so?

went for it yesterday seeing as I was in the area...

for those who might be thinking of visiting over the next few days..

traverse area was flooded in places as was the base of caviar, ground underneath kudos wall was a bit muddy though the rock was dry (bar a bit of moisture in the starting slot of tsumani),

conds on the rock weren't amazing.. bit too still and warm.. tomorrow looks promising though   :)

Anyone know what it's likely to be like this pm? Met Office research looks promising despite the fact that the weather where I am is minging. More RAD and SYKED for Crag X but I'm guessing that may still be a write off? Any info gratefully received.

It's dry over here in the Chinley/Chapel area which isn't that far as the crow flies....

Very muddy/flooded under the traverses but the rock all looked dry. Sissy / Zeke dry. Kudos wall all dry and not too bad underfoot. Muddy and flooded under Caviar etc but still doable with the stepping stone / pallet combo if you were determined enough. Didn't climb there so dunno 100% about conditions but the rock felt good and at 14 degrees the only thing lacking was a bit of breeze. Crag X partly wet but some things workable / doable with a bit of drying effort. If the rain holds off then it should be in good nick again soon. No crows were seen. Lime season still in full effect word.

I was there on Saturday, rock dry but too muddy under traverses and Caviar. Kudos OK but still a bit muddy.

Also went to ****X - moist but drying out could be OK now, most problems undoable due to 1 or 2 very damp spots.

Also went to Ravenstor - good nick, only very slightly damp at very back of powerband pockets.

Take your pick.

Pretty much all dry now (yesterday) and everything doable. Forgot to check Rubicon.  :-[
