Just the usual winter season conditions, i.e. 95% dry with the odd patch of seepage.

nice one ding dong, i just got back from there today and the whole place was saturated, is probably condensation rather than seapage though, so should be dry again soonish

Saturated!!?

How strange - yesterday you could have climbed pretty much every problem in the cave.

If you click on the Bust Lip link at the bottom of the Upper Cut news item, then click on the Parisella's Original link at the bottom of that news item, all will be explained.

Cool problem - 7a/7a+ from back in the day. The grades for Throbins links are probably a bit harsh, unless you're a proper stamina monkey like Doylo.

We need a web cam, or maybe we could do a deal with the bloke at the toll gate. If he checked the cave first thing, folk could call him and see if a particular hold was seeping. I'm sure he'd soon get the hang of what all the different problems were. :lol:

I'm sure if you bought him the occasional 6 pack for his hassle i'm sure he woudl be happy to do it. Break the tedium.
