EV was climbable even with the seepage on Sunday, so should be fine now.

Some seepage from the left of Predator to Yosemite, top part of The Oak wet. Most of the rest fine, upstairs bone.

Everything left of Tremolo ok, wet from there to GBH, then dryish to Mid Ledge. The top of the Oak soaking but fine round to the Groove which was damp but workable. The rest fine, upstairs bone.

I didn't see one, but there was talk of some gear left near the base of Overnite. I'll ask around next time I'm up.

How are things looking at the moment? Was thinking of heading up over the weekend, is stuff likely to be climbable even in the wet?

Was up there yesterday,  most things off the catwalk were dry with the odd bit of seepage in places, upstairs was completely dry. Should be fine for the weekend unless it pisses down for the next three days and what are the chances of that  :-\  .... ah yes , well fingers crossed then.

Haven't seen Andy F for a while anyone know where he's hiding ?

Your right, I have gone mad. I'm not climbing for the foreseeable future.

ha, fair point (re. cry freedom).  I'd never noticed that.  What's the consensus, 8b+ or 8c?  Looks 8c from what/who I've seen on it.

Many at the crag seem to think CF is harder than Unjustified. If that's any help.

Arrived afterwork last night and it was very greasy.

Looked very wet left of overnight sensation and seemed to be getting a little wetter. Right of overnight seemed fine, most stuff looked climbable/workable (bottom seeps on raindogs not too bad). Didn't go upstairs.

Hopefully the forecast good weather will dry things up a bit.

Cheers

Call me a fortune teller, but I am going to be ill tomorrow. Must go to Malham as ropegun for the mrs. Anybody care to guess if Space Race is gonna be dry? or Cry Freedom? Any guesses appreciated however wild or loco.

I didn't check out the left hand side as I was climbing on the right today but seemed pretty dry. Folk on the Groove, Raindogs, Zoolook, straightened. Ppl were climbing all over that left hand wall so I guess Space Race may have been doable. Very midgey in the rain. cry freedom probably dry as seepage seemed to be at quite an early stage... tomorrow may be different though.

Pretty much everything climbable as of Sunday. Groove was climbable but seepage may render it out of action past few days. The Maximum also had wet streak, but everything else ok.

Anyone been to Malham (or Kilnsey) today or Friday? Am specifically interested in how dry (wet) The Groove is. Yours optimistically....
