for anyone interested.... place was pretty flipping seepy today. Rdogs wetter than it has been for a few weeks. Not that much water on Onite, Oak etc etc but definitely in need of a sunny day or few for climbability.

How was the LHS looking Baboo/Straightened in particular? Was upstairs dry?

[Andy F]

By the end of the day almost everything was dry, with the exception of the Groove and a few hardy damp patches between Mid Ledge and Overnite. Given the good forecast I'd say even those will be gone in a couple of days.

[Andy F]

Pretty much everything dry, just the occasional lasting dampness and slightly moist undercut here and there.

[Andy F]

Any seepage updates after the recent downpours?

[north_country_boy]

It was all dry on weds, even after tuesday's apparent downpour.......

There was a little rain on weds afternoon, but not enough to seep through. However it may have rained up there yesterday night?

[Adam Lincoln]

With the heavy winds, depending on direction, rain might have been blown in.

[Andy F]

Any rain blown in would probably dry pretty quickly. It can take 3-5 days for the full seepage to come through (depending on how much the seepage has dried back previously), so Tuesday rain = Sat/Sun wetness.

Anyone make it up today (Saturday)?

[north_country_boy]

Just got back.

Mixed day today but great conditions on the whole.....

No seepage on anything as I was aware, sunny intervals, light breeze, and a few short but fine rain showers throughout the day.

Should be same tomorrow crag wise, & weather shouldn't effect too many routes...

[TobyD]

nice one, cheers NCB!

No worries, would be heading up again tomorrow if my skin wasn't so sore!!!!

You did New Age Traveller? Some painful crimps on that crux... Downstairs was totally dry as well.

It's a bit of skin eater is NAT. But it's got baby teeth compared to Conehead's sabre tooth fangs!

Yeah did it yesterday, painful but positive. Excellent technical climbing

Had my Fix of Upstairs for now, although Breach of the Peace is high on the list, although Renaissance I hear is no push over....

If you fancy Breach, why not start up Free and Easy, or do Cover to Cover

Isn't free and easy a bit of a cop out?

[Andy F]

Not if you don't fancy Renaissance, which is supposed to be pretty grim.

[Serpico]

A cop out is a cop out. Man-up, get on it, do it, downgrade it.
Job done.

[IanP]

Everything was bone dry, the crag was packed, the queues were in place on raindogs, keefe was in situ on the Groove, the world was as it should be... except no sign of Serpico

Hiding in a cave I believe.

Actually he was beach combing    (No word of a lie)

[Serpico]

Actually he was beach combing

You'd be amazed what some people throw away.
