Surprisingly quiet today, but quite warm!

Anyone got any up to date info. on conditions? Forecast is pretty bad all week, and not looking good for weekend, so if anyone is heading up before then it would be good to know if its in nick? (espeically Overnite/Magnetic/New Dawn...)

Serpico · May 16, 2007, 10:08:20 am

Overnite's ok, New Dawn's wet in the middle and at the belay, Magnetic's wet at the final flake and just below.

Andy F · May 20, 2007, 10:45:16 pm

Most things dry/do-able today. Some wet patches to the left as expected, central and right sides all dry, apart from stuff going over the roof. Given a couple of dryish days it should all be clear again. Surprisingly good conditions on the rock.

Anyone got more up to date conditions? Given the rain we've had is it all soggy again? Answers on a postcard to...

Andy F · June 02, 2007, 09:17:01 am

Either there or Kilnsey on Sunday. Would be good to meet up.

Hi Andy, headed to Malham Sat, it was hot! Nice breeze later on, but decided ot to go on Overnite. Will be up next weekend, hopefully sat & sun.

whats the crack here conditions wise?

Serpico · June 14, 2007, 08:08:06 pm

Today was V. midgey with seepage on the left wing. Everything right of New Dawn was still OK.

Shy Yorkshireman · June 19, 2007, 09:09:29 pm

Anyone been up since the down pour? Has it stopped raining yet? I take it that the groves Fucked, what about overnight, Austrian?

And what happened to the Malhambra web site a very good idea, but short lived by the look of things?

Ged · June 20, 2007, 12:11:01 pm

It's still going! we're trying our best, but it needs you lot to get reporting on it. We'd really like to be able to keep it as up to date as possible, so any info you get would be much appreciated re here, Kilnsey, or anywhwere. We're good for getting lakes reports etc, but only get down to yorkshire every couple weeks.

Also just got a load more photos/articles uploaded, so take a look and spread the word. We need you!!

north_country_boy · June 21, 2007, 12:09:16 am

Source from nearby reckons it will be fooked! Raindogs and the usual suspects to the right should be dry though....

Andy F · June 21, 2007, 08:05:22 am

north_country_boy · June 21, 2007, 09:17:19 am

Thats teh plan Andy, hopefully get the bloody thing ticked.....finally.....could do with some info. on the top undercuts...anyone know if they are dry?

Bonjoy · June 21, 2007, 07:19:27 pm

Was there yesterday and people were on OS and not complaining of wet holds. Most routes left of it had some wet streaks though. Did Energy Vampire which was bone dry. Then went on Scavenger which was also bone dry, but hideously sharp.
Generally there was a fair bit of streaking, but mostly in places which get wet quick then dry quick if you know what I mean.

north_country_boy · June 21, 2007, 08:30:46 pm

Cheers Bonjoy, sounds like Malham on Sat for me then....

Doylo · June 21, 2007, 08:44:42 pm

north_country_boy · June 21, 2007, 10:43:43 pm

Monolith · June 21, 2007, 10:51:52 pm

Just before you get all excited Andy at seeing my name associated with a Malham thread, it's not conditions I'm interested in. Some questions:
a) Who's your normal belayer of choice for Overnight?

b)Is there a chance I could get on the payroll for the job soon?

Get it ticked lad!!!

I wouldn't have thought he was bothered as long as they can work a gri gri properly.... Ey Andy ;-)

Monolith · June 21, 2007, 11:26:35 pm

Andy once set off up a route at the wall whilst I was trying to explain that in fact I had never lead belayed with a gri-gri. Further, I didn't know how to pay rope out. It was a brave and valiant solo by Andy I must say.
