Not in yorkshire at the moment  but the wife descibed the rain as biblical yesterday

[kingholmesy]

Any updates?  Any of the 7bs climbable?

[Andy F]

Gareth just put a picture on faceache showing wetness of epic proportions.

[griffer]

no 7b dry, maybe consenting, even the ever dry route supercool, that has provided some training over the last 2 weeks is now soaked, if anyone is heading up to yorkshire, your mad

[Serpico]

I'm beginning to think this wasn't the best year to wait until trying The Groove.

[griffer]

most routes still wet, but possibly now worth a trip if you are working sections of a route, supercool now dry

[Nike Air]

Hi,
wondering if anyone went today and if so was the Raindogs pocket dry?
Cheers

[flyguy]

Pretty decent nick, surprisingly. Most of the wet patches dried right back by 6:30
Didn't give rain dogs a close inspection but there were no wet streaks coming from it.

Anyone know how its looking?

Anyone know how its looking?

a fair bit of seepage but eg raindogs, overnight, baboo, zoolook all in redpointable condition, amongst others. some half reasoanable condtions on dry bits of rock. 

[Fras]

Heading down from Glasgow tomorrow (Wed 25th July) - reckon it'll be worth the drive in terms of conditions? I like it warm so the temps won't bother me,  but is it still seepy?

[Serpico]

Forget about the temps, if the sun's on it you'll fry - it's the combination of the sheltered nature of the cove and the white rock. The left wing gets the shade first from early afternoon, but on a sunny day your best bet is Goredale or Kilnsey, if you're not prepared to bail to one of those I wouldn't risk the journey down.

[Fras]

Thanks for the info - someone over on the other channel also suggested Gordale, so might try that. Kilnsey's a wee bit further for the day trip for us, so will probably leave it for another trip.

Pretty dry on friday evening when we left.

[shark]

Mint today.

Had place to ourselves mid afternoon onwards.

[Three Nine]

Bet it was super at malham today?

[Nike Air]

Lefthand side pretty wet today (wed). Mainly run off. River was very angry!

[Paul B]

"@john_dunne At Malham late this afternoon dreadful conditions not looking good for the weekend"

Specifically wet left of Raindogs and right of Rose Coronary.

[Paul B]

Really not good today unless you were keen for Consenting Adults, plus it rained all day so I doubt it'll get better... I posted conditions pics in the Malham facebook group for anyone intending on visiting.

[TMR]

Mixed yesterday. Left hand end a waterfall. Start pocket on raindogs wet but good rightwards. Upstairs good except for tufas around herbie. Must have had a heavy shower overnight/ early morning i think as the beck was pretty high.

[TobyD]

anyone been up today (Friday)?

Is the groove dry, or nearly dry?  (for anyone who hasn'r been on it it doesn't actually go up the groove, it goes through the bulge to the right of it really, and then straight up the wall, to the right of where the large 'giraffe' shaped seepage patch is most of the time) The important bits are just above the tufa at the top of something stupid.

Cheers!

Cross post but here it is for the people of UKB:

Malham much imrpoved today. LHS fairly climbable if you're happy with the odd damp undercut. Mescalito looked to be a little too wet.

Area around the Oak drying (don't know this area well enough to comment on specifics)

The pocket on raindogs was soapy but MUCH improved from a week ago.

Dry rightwards. Some slight wetness at the top of Something Stupid (Tufa hold) but this had already improved massively during the day.

Upper tier looked to have improved (and also looked baking) but I didn't venture up there. I can see this week making things pretty darn good.

[Paul B]

Wetter today than when I last visited (at the left hand end).

There were cars left in the cove center car park when we were leaving (nearly dark) which the landowner didn't seem too happy about (he said he wasn't keen on people being there after dark), I guess they probably belonged to campers or something but best not to be late back to the car!

probably best to have a voluntary break on parking there, if there is anywhere in the village to park - its less than a minute more to walk, and only a quid in the honesty box.

[TobyD]

many seepy bits on the left side, but a fair amount in a redpointable condition: predator, zoolook(soaking rest) possibly new dawn (a few damp holds) baboo (ditto) Not redpointable really: tremelo, gbh, oak, groove ... dried out a bit in day, but probably seeping more by tomorrow morning.
