Still lots of seepage on the upper tier but many thing climbable (Lob/Obsession, MO, TR etc), Herbie and NAT still out. Downstairs getting dryer during yesterday, Zoolook workable, middle section fine (Overnite ok ish, Raindogs very damp at the start) Something Stupid to Hartley Hart very damp, things to the far right (Frankie etc) fine.

Anyone been there last couple of days? Anyone care to wager on conditions for today?

Just posted this on ukc.

Update from yesterday:

Left side still wet, Zoolook dry enough to work but rests and top wet. Didn't really look at Austrian, Overnight etc (sorry - must do better next time!). Raindogs getting drier. Consenting / Free and easier fine. Further right had wet patches, but Rose Coronary looked OK. Sycophants etc looked fine. Upstairs most things much better - Toadal dry, Herbie basically dry, New Age dry, leftwards only had the odd damp patch at the starts.

Overally looking much better than at the weekend - just needs a decent few days of dry weather and things could get sorted! Unfortuately no sign of that yet

By the way conditions were awful, humid and greasy with drizzly rain blowing into the crag.

Cheers IanP. Made the trip anyway and got stuff done so was well worth the drive.
I feel a bit underqualified to do a full Malham report having only been once before so not really knowing the routes that people will be interested in, but for what it's worth, I'll have a go. Raindogs very wet at start but workable from 2nd bolt, Consenting etc. mostly dry but the odd wet patch. Upstairs the rock was in good nick but it was all a bit wild with seepage coming from halfway out the roof above, being whipped round by the wind. Conditions were good where the rock was dry.

Conditions better upstairs today, with almost all the routes climbable. Downstairs everything left of Overnight still sopping, most things to the right ok-ish, but given the forecasted deluge they may well get on the damp side of wet soon 

[Andy F]

Everything much drier today. Upstairs almost 100% dry, The Groove was almost dry, downstairs much better with Magnetic in condition, Zoolook climbable, New dawn still having seepage but Space Race and Tremelo nearly in condition. Raindogs ok, everything to the right dry or very nearly there. Let's see what the latest deluge does though...

[Doylo]

Not too bad today, upper tier pretty dry. Smitton did Magnetic so obviously that was climbable, i ran out of steam half way up overnite - climbable. Raindogs seeping at bottom, stuff to the right dry. Some stuff on left wing like Straightened and GBH had people on them/doing them yesterday - so all in all not too bad really.

[Andy F]

Almost the whole crag was in condition. A couple of routes on the right have damp patches (Rose Coronary, Hartley Hare), couple of damp patches to the left around Tremelo but everything else pretty much fine.

[Fiend]

Yesterday: Everything looked in great nick, only that big patch right in the middle of the crag showed any dampness.

Pity it's raining now.

 :please:anyone got any recent conditions info.....? Whats wet would probably be easiest....mainly interested in left hand side.. space race - rightwards to - Magnetic...cheers, 

[Andy F]

All was dry on Sunday, The Groove and Cy Freedom included. The recent wetness shouldn't affect it too much, it'll be fine come the weekend IMHO

[andy_e]

You there saturday or sunday? Preferably saturday because on saturday i'll be going to bed on sunday?

[Andy F]

Will be there Sunday, till about 3.30 then off to see Rush at the MEN with Tim B

[Andy F]

Mostly good yesterday. Stuff between Yosemite and Straightened damp at the break, then dry to Cry Freedom. Damp to Overnight then dry almost all the way round. Groove wet. Upstairs dry almost all the way.

[Andy F]

Pretty much everything in mint condition yesterday. Infact it was too hot and sunny on the upper tier  .

[Serpico]

Pretty much everything in mint condition yesterday. Infact it was too hard and crimpy on the upper tier  .

It's always too hard and crimpy up there...

Everything dry on Sunday including the Groove. Anyone interested in going up this Sunday (11th) from Sheffield get in touch.

Hi Simon,

Not from Sheffield (obviously) but assuming weather is anything like decent should be up on Sunday with likes of Tim and Andy F, maybe others.

Ian

[Andy F]

Most things were dry yesterday, inc The Groove. Should stay that way for a while unlesswe have a severe soaking.

[north_country_boy]

Anyone know what the cove is liek at the minute? i.e since the weekend.......

Pretty keen to get there saturday......any info much appreciated....

[Andy F]

I've not been up Dan and I could be wrong, but I would think the Upper Tier is probably your best bet as after the rain  it may well be soaking for large parts of the catwalk. Which route(s) you thinking of?

[north_country_boy]

Well a couple of things to finish off on catwalk but main aim was to get on Magnetic/Austrian/Mid Ledge for the spring....will just have to see whats dry when i get there....cheers anyway....

Suppose i could always climb on the upper tier for the first time.....

[Andy F]

If you go upstairs there's loads of brilliant routes. Toadall, L'Obsession, Main Overhang, Herbie, NAT, Conehead etc are all well worth your time and effort.

[north_country_boy]

I've no doubt they are, however i'm not massively psyched for getting embroiled in projects upstairs with stuff to finish downstairs and the main LTG's downstairs.....cheers anyway, you heading up this weekend? Hows it going on Overnite?
