Kudos wall looked mint this evening. Routes around caviar were seeping, as were those around zeke.

Bouldering all dry and not too bad underfoot, I'd take a tarp for the traverses area. Little pool under rubicon but with a bit of carpet you can get within a meter of the start and keep dry.

Crag X was pretty good. Damp at the back (lowest section of footholds). And dripping coming from higher up. Not amazing but enough to go at.

The Sissy, too old, dangerous brothers and Rubicon dry. A bit of Sun should dry the rest out pretty quickly.

Presume crag x is wet? Anyone been?

[BAndy]

Caviar area pretty seepy. Some seepage on Kudos wall but looked ok. Pirhana area looked dry. Looked to be a small amount of seepage on the Sissy. Zeke looked wet. Traverses area was dry but muddy underfoot.

Crag x soaked today

Similar yesterday, though the Sissy and Kudo wall looked ok, Zeke had a couple of wet spots. Not sure if it has been noted elsewhere but the first hanger on Salar is missing.

All bone dry today. And the crag we do not mention was dry to a fashion

anyone notice whether the ground is dry under the easy traverses?

[T_B]

When you say "All bone dry" do you mean the bouldering, or routes too (specifically interested in Caviar). Ta

One or two damp patches low down on caviar - but mostly dry, not sure if they'd interfere with the climbing though.  All routes to the right bone dry.  (or were on Sat afternoon - its rained a lot since mind).

Warm up traverse bit damp on holds but ok, usual big pond under rubicon.   Ground drying out under three tier, ok for mats but
still too damp not to get mud on your shoes if you step off a mat.  Should dry out a fair bit this week I'd have thought

[lagerstarfish]

thanks

Just back from Tideswell Dale - and it was all dry there - so would have thought that bodes well for Wubicon.

Though Plattsy said apparently one of the big final holds from the RH straight up on the traverse section has apparently come off and shattered...

TT

[lagerstarfish]

I wasn't planning on getting that high off the ground

I'll content myself with pulling off and shattering the starting holds

I can confirm this, I was there when the fella came down with the final jug landing on the back of his head, I still can't believe he wasn't bleeding!  He did clear the loose rock from the top once he had recovered

I know its OT but

Is it worth going there with the kids for a picnic at the weekend ? - ie the climbing. I'll have to make my own assessment on the picnic/kids thing

It was my first time there and I thought it was a nice spot. Theres not a huge amount of problems there, but we had a good session there today.. Easily enough for a work out.

Its on a flat bit on a slope - so theres not a huge area for kids to run around in, but its 5 min from the car park and there are loads of trails/paths for the non climbers to go on/explore. Theres a well made metalled path along the valley floor that I'm sure little ones could cycle along easily? Though not sure how long it goes on for... I'd say that if it wasnt suitable, its only 5-10 min back to the car then go somewhere else... loos in the car park too. Plattsy said it was dead last Sunday....

PS - north facing. In the shade.

Dolly - how old are the kids? The car park at Tideswell dale has some nice grass and is a decent place for a picnic. I've been twice down the dale with my kids. As tomtom says the bouldering spot itself is not great for a picnic plus it's up a steep path/steps and there's quite a few nettles around. The valley has a couple of spots where you can access the river to paddle and benches to chill/picnc on. It's perfect for easy biking. There are a couple of cave entrances - I'll take a headtorch next time as my kids were mad for them. The crag itself has the hardest Font 7a in the Peak - ET Bone home.

Cheers TT and T_B.
14.5 (taller than me) , 11.5 and 5.5 (I know) so they'll be fine.
Just thinking it might be a good Father's day place -  bit of climbing, bit of picnic, bit of play etc.

Caviar was dry this evening. Some of the low pockets on Kudos wall were a bit damp.

The long traverse was a bit damp in places, the trio of traverses all fine.

[Denbob99]

Rubicon area was dry today. Rubicon itself was also dry enough to climb, lower holds a little damp but everything after the first break was dry.

[James Malloch]

Didn't look past caviar, but everything seemed dry apart from the ground between rubicon and the traverses. Pity it was so hot!

[cha1n]

Thinking of going here on the weekend for the first time. Likely to be dry?
