We were up on Tuesday. Basically everything on the left wall up to and including Zoolook was a write-off. The right hand section seemed largely OK, including stuff through the roof. A few patches of dampness on Unjustified but a major wet streak down the middle third of the groove.

Upstairs basically fine.

It was raining all day when we were there too, so I expect if anything it'll be damper today

Loads wet today. Overnite dry, as is connect 4 and energy vampire. Most warm ups around consenting dry. Upstairs looked dryish too.

I didn't notice but the Maximum and Midledge were totally unclimbable, and wont be dry by the weekend, so guess it was wet....

Martha Focker. Think it's supposed to be lagging it down on Saturday, but I would imagine we'll try it regardless...
Any hope for Kilnsey as a backup?

Not sure mate, its not stopped raining enough since my last report. You should be okay for stuff around the ashes, plus subculture and grooved arete should be in. Though with the rain today it could have seeped through.

Chatting to timb on Saturday we came up with the great idea of Radio4 replacing the shipping forecast with the cragging forecast, some thing along the lines of:

Malham - mostly damp with the odd dry bit, drying out later with some sun
Kilnsey - damp to gopping, tending wet.
The Tor - Dry on the left, pinches damp, powerband dry to seepy

etc etc, read in the best R4 announcers voice

 :lol: That would be a damn sight more useful that the shipping forecast too!! I reckon they should employ a full time bod to go snooping around the crags on a full time basis to obtain the most accurate info. I would volunteer for the role  ;D

Looking reasonably good today. Most stuff looked work/climbable.

New dawn to cry freedom looked mostly dry, the odd damp hold but improved during the day. Up to magnetic things looked a bit damper.

Bottom Flake on raindogs wet but not that bad, undercut on chiseling/seventh still a bit wet.

Dry up to something stupid (Bottom of groove soaked) and the odd damp patch on things further right.

No rain today, cloudy with a light breeze.

Should be pretty good by tommorow.

Still dry today, although wet streak had moved down towards the groove a little by the end of the day.

Decent weather, a few heavy showers.

On a slightly related note the quietly amazing Yew Cogar was completely dry the other day - precious little evidence that it had been climbed on for a while though.

Was stupidly hot today. Lots of seepage L of Zoolook, but drying rapidly in the sun. Most other stuff dry. Will be interesting to see how quick the recent downpour comes through as the wetness appeared to be mostly run-off.

Anyone have an update, particularly the flake and footholds on Raindogs.

Cheers
