All pretty good today. Not too much standing water left. Just a bit soggy under foot. Should be even drier after some sun this evening.

Dry from ~Tribes rightwards at close of day although bit of a puddle forming under Rubicon.
One hazard not much mentioned is the ducks - getting far too confident for my liking: on the bouldering mat, IN my rucsac, pecking my feet when belaying. Should never have fed the buggers.

Was up there from early evening and although it was bucketing it down most of the problems were dry. Zippy's, Jericho area all dry except the in situ Pinch streak. Hulk, Seans etc all dry. The roof on the left hand end was mostly damp.

Would love an update this evening after the monsoon has passed through as to the state of that place which cannot be named - Ideally the grips on The Thing and The Hulk.  :kiss1:

Yer man, were you the guy trying Zippy's? Anyway, a mixture of both I gather.

The rock looked dry, but it was fully flooded at lunchtime today, except a small island under The Sissy. There may have been an island under Kudos as well but we couldn't see, and didn't want to risk wading in case the evil ducklings dragged us to a watery grave and feasted on our rotting corpses.
