hmmm, just thought of a link that 7b on the right into reverse moffatrocity. maybe 7C?

You could finish up Pink Indians/Brain Pollution, whichever one it is that goes up and slightly left from the Moffatrocity jump start into the hulk/superman finish.

A classic training link of old is Moffatrocity, reverse Jerico road to the shelf, zippys traverse back to the start of Moffatrocity shake out and repeat. Ben used to do some monster links on this. Remember him doing it 3 maybe 4 times many moons ago.Lots of moves and quite a poor shake.

The only stuff which appeared to be suffering significant seepage was around caviare (which was already wet anyway, annoyingly) .

Can't remember what I thought it would get, years since I did it, but I can't see a 7a+ into a 7b getting 7c, unless I'm a bit out of touch with the old mathematics.

good nick today. stuff in the roof on the left was damp but climbable. The seepage hasn't started affecting problems yet but if it keeps raining then it probably will do.

Bouldering dry tonight, Caviar still got a bit of wet on it, and flooded just underneath it.

Anyone been for a look this morning (or 'up the road')? I suspect its not too clever given the amount of rain that came down last night (and todays drizzleness..). Was hoping to get a look in over lunchtime but suspect it'd be a wasted trip...

Buxton has had about 35mm of rain in the last three days according to buxtonweather.co.uk, that's a big seepage episode in the pipeline.

Gent at the Tor this morning reported Rubicon flooded (surprise, surprise), traverses are ok but above water, Kudos at 11ish, streaky but looked like it'd dry back, dry land below if you've got wellies for the approach

pretty sure it was ok, start looks gopping but with the forecast set fine and dry for a while hopefully it will get there pretty soon.
