Cheers, good to know, sounds same as saturday. we'll see what the week brings.....

[TobyD]

pretty much all dry yesterday, apart from some of the deep undercuts on the left side (new dawn, mescalito probably still a bit sloppy), maybe a couple of damp holds on the groove, but almost totally dry. Last night and today's rain may not help matters for those hopeful for the weekend though.

Argh.....hopefully it will hold off......gutted if the groove is wet....

How was GBH/Zoolook?

[TobyD]

the rest on zoolook was a tad damp, but nothing too bad really

Word from Keith is that it was bone dry and not raining there today.

[TobyD]

Doesn't look too bad; maybe bit of rain blowing in though?

Are you heading up there this weekend Simon ?

Sunday. Just 2 of us at the mo. Seb and Ed Brown maybes. Light rain but not too cold forecast, pos bit of wind, but not too grim.

If wind blows the rain in it could be grim.

Pretty much all still dry yesterday, but cloudy and rainy with the wind along the crag. Slightly busier than usual as well...

Will has just been up and texted me. Seepage worse today. Upstairs looks dry but Cry Freedom and left are strating to seep in the bulgy bits. Oak is wet on the traverse. Raindogs etc rightwards (inc the Grooove) still dry. If it doesn’t get sun it will be worse tomorrow.

I am going to paint a small picture (in waterproof paint) half way up Austrian Oak to mark my high point and name it the 'Tormented Mighty Acorn' (8a).

'Malham conditions' could be pretty much read as NNFN at the moment .... (in fact this pretty much seems to go for most uk limestone) :
1) route dries
2) get it sorted, almost do it
3) route turns into a river for the next 10 months.

aaaaaahh...

still, i'm going up tomorrow anyway, and it'll still be the most awesome chunk of limestone around.

Welcome to my world.

[Adam Lincoln]

That's it. I'm moving to Spain!

Is it 8a to the second bolt then ? 

[Marky]

Can I come to Spain as well - any updates on The Groove seepage this week would be good!

[shark]

Is it 8a to the second bolt then ? 

15 hand moves, 29 foot moves and 2 clips sounds slightly less trivial - but yes probably

[Andy F]

Anyone been up in the last day or two? How's the LHS looking, Zoolook in particular?

[Marky]

The cove was very wet yesterday with all the rain finally coming through. Just the usual everdry routes to go at downstairs with only Just Not In Lust dry downstairs left although it was starting to dry back when we left at 5pm. Things looked mostly dry upstairs with people on Herbie and Renaissance. Things should be better after a couple of sunny days.

[Marky]

  Did anybody visit the cove yesterday and can give an update on the state of play particularly The Groove?

[Adam Lincoln]

Anyone been today?

[robertostallioni]

Went yesterday. Lower Tier had lots of wet patches when we arrived(9.30) but over the next couple of hours most things were dry. Groove looked wet in the, err, groove. some deep pockets on most routes were a little damp but fully climbable. New dawn ended up dry (trav was gopping early doors). Top couple of bolts of CF wet all day. Predator dry. The sun was quite hot, but a cool breeze meant it wasn't really an issue. Until I got home, and now my face is tight, like prom night.

[Fiend]

Looked very dry today. Smegging hot in the sun / shelter, but would have been nicely cool later. No-one there in the evening, surprisingly??
