All of Raindogs was bone as of yesterday!!

Adam Lincoln · October 07, 2008, 06:19:26 pm

A lot of seepage coming through today. Most stuff on left wettish. Didnt really look at Raindogs, but think it would have had wet patches. Specially after todays rain!

TobyD · October 09, 2008, 08:29:26 am

Raindogs dry yesterday; most things right of Zoolook totally dry as far as the Groove. Seepage that was there retreated very significantly through the day - another couple of dry days and it'll be awesome at the weekend.

As long as you are not on the groove you will probably be ok.

Very wet today, not much to get on at all

Andy F · October 12, 2008, 07:37:41 pm

Everything L of Ovenight soaking, mostly okish further R but plenty of seepage patches. Upstairs mostly dry L of Toad of Beck Hall but some patches at the bases of routes L of Obsession.

anyone heading up this week, conditions update would be very welcome, hoping to get out there friday...

cheers. T

Sunday was mostly damp downstairs, only the central warm-ups being fully in condition. Most other stuff had wetness to sever dampness. Upstairs wetter than usual, even Conehead had seepage on the crux hold. Which was annoying

. Herbie, Obsession, Todall, MO and NAT dry.

For a man who has "given up climbing", you're remarkably aware of the state of a volume of classic Malham rock climbs Mr Farnell

Hope this is the sign of a comeback.

BenF · October 22, 2008, 08:11:18 am

Oh yeah, Andy's totally like not climbing. He's even sending a clone to the wall to avoid going there himself.

Andy F · October 22, 2008, 08:17:55 am

I't's amazing what modern science can do, cloning sheep, punterish humans etc...

Monolith · October 22, 2008, 11:04:29 am

Has the clone got an in built hustle mechanism Ben?

This has to be the shortest "I'm jacking it all in!" to "I'm back and keen as ever!" situation since that cunt out of Reverand and The Makers realised he hadn't actually earned that much money yet and decided to make another record (

).

Glad you're back at it Andy.

SA Chris · October 22, 2008, 11:59:31 am

Would it be impudent at this stage to use the words "told you so?"

Glad the mojo is back.

Monolith · October 22, 2008, 12:25:09 pm

And as if by magic, the overnight sensation is back!

(Which incidentally, I trust you will be walking up with the youth?)

abarro81 · November 01, 2008, 06:51:02 pm

Anyone been today? Any info on what it might be like tomorrow?

TobyD · November 01, 2008, 10:37:19 pm

I was there on monday, when only the permadry bits were really climbable (ie connect 4 to free and even easier, with big dribbles out of the 7th A/chiselling undercut and the raindogs start). I didn't have a close look, but toadall recall and maybe one or two other thigns upatairs may have been just ok as well. I would guess it's a little drier now, judging by this week's weather, but not too much. Hope that assists the decision making process...

Andy F · November 03, 2008, 06:23:47 pm

Amazingly dry yesterday. Upstairs almost all bone, the odd seepage patch but nothing on the major routes. Downstairs mostly dry (The Oak, Zoolook, Mid ledge etc) all in good enough condition with the occasional wetness. Raindogs seepy in the usual places, most of the routes L of Zoolook just about climbable. Could have done with being a degree or 3 warmer though...

SteG · January 05, 2009, 11:44:34 am

New years day - nice sunny forecast, thought it might be warm-ish in the sun

Usual seepage streaks on The Groove...

Raindogs dry except for little seepage and at the start

Yosemite wall streaky but drying back during the day, The Oak, Overnite etc all seeping and covered in more icicles, a nice icefall cascade above Hartley Hare although Upstairs was mostly dry.

headed south for a spot of bouldering instead

Does anybody have the knowledge on conditions for this weekend? Might there even be the possibility that the trad is in?

Cheers,

Al

alaan · January 26, 2009, 10:00:29 pm

Saturday: it was cold and a bit wet. Middle section around Raindogs mainly dry with a bit of seepage here and there, area around obsession also mainly dry (although the belayer will get very wet from all the seepage from the roof!).

Andy F · January 28, 2009, 08:58:18 pm
