I have it on good authority that there was a lot of seepage yesterday. Forecast not so great either. Looks ropey for the weekend.

Any reports from today would be most welcome

Got a text from Gareth saying that it wasn't too bad. If it's stayed dry today I'd guess it'll be in reasonable nick tomorrow.

Tim Broughtonshaw · March 27, 2010, 06:06:58 pm

some surface seepage today and some coming through also. overnite was wet around the rest, gbh zoolook etc quite wet at top but receeding. However undercuts and pockets before and during the crux getting wetter as the day went on. Very windy however some dryign will have occurred. Not a lot of sun really more cloud than sun. Next weeks forcast looks ridiculous!! Heavy snow!

Cheers
Tim

As above. Apparently it dried a lot during the day as there was a good wind. So should be better still for tomorrow. The Oak will still be out though.

Might still head up. Hopefully see you there. I'll be the one that looks most like Brad Pitt.

biscuit · March 27, 2010, 07:34:03 pm

What are the chances of that ? 2 of us looking like Brad Pitt. Amazing.

I'll be getting there about 12 ish.

You will find me on the low grade classics.

Feel free to dish beta about liberally.

Serpico · March 27, 2010, 08:44:15 pm

Sadly Simon looks like Brad Pitt the boulder problem - over-brushed and seldom in condition.

Andy F · March 29, 2010, 07:55:14 pm

I've just heard from a reliable source, well, Gareth, if you can call him reliable

, that the cove is 'coffee coloured'. Which doesn't sound good. Wind and rain blowing in with lots of run-off

Bernard Jefferies · March 31, 2010, 12:24:34 pm

I take it Malham looks a doubtful venue for the weekend? The weather forecast was horrendous but now looks like it could be just showery.

Andy F · March 31, 2010, 07:44:30 pm

From someone in the know: Very cold, upper tier holding out, stuff left of overnite wet, predator dry. It's not been too wet up there apparently, the beck isn't the expected raging torrent. Yet.

JacobJacob · April 01, 2010, 01:42:38 am

Was there today, everything from Raindogs to Ledge Lizards was pretty much dry, most other places seemed pretty seepy.

I left my phone on the catwalk, its a pretty shitty old blue/grey nokia, would be really greatful if anyone who finds it could fone

griffer · April 01, 2010, 08:20:41 pm

actually not bad today, regarding the damp but bloody cold with the wind.

Andy F · April 03, 2010, 09:52:24 am

As of yesterday: most stuff left of Overnite was wet, most stuff to the right dry (except the Groove). Upstairs all stuff left of Todal still ok but bloody freezing with the wind.

Andy F · April 06, 2010, 12:59:37 pm

Most stuff left of Overnite was very damp, Predator/Zoolook/GBH workable but with significant wetness. Most stuff to the right okay, the groove wet, lots of damp patches getting worse during the day as seepage came through. The Beck was much higher than of late - lots of water in the ground. Upstairs looked mostly okay left of Serious Young Toads through to Free and Easy.

JK · July 28, 2010, 09:17:12 am

Has anyone been in the last few days? wondered if it was OK or what might be wet. Cheers.

What route(s) in particular JK?
I was there last week after a couple of days of persistent rain and most of the popular stuff was fine.

JK · July 28, 2010, 12:07:23 pm

Was wondering about 'something stupid' and routes around GBH/Zoolook area. Also wondered about Herbie upstairs

Everything nicely dry, no queues at the mo either - everyone must be at Kilnsey or the Cornice(s).

TobyD · September 14, 2010, 11:56:05 pm

As of tuesday 14th September....

the crag is looking a bit more black than white, but hopefully most of the LH side is more surface run off than total seepage, but almost everything left of connect 4 seemed to have fairly significant amounts of water on them.

shark · September 15, 2010, 02:05:52 pm

Shit. I heard it was just run-off at the weekend that would dry quickly.

Did you happen to notice if the first 10/15 feet of the Oak was dry i.e. the pockets by the third bolt ?

Tim Broughtonshaw · September 16, 2010, 10:11:49 am

Also keen to get a handle on latest conditions. I suspect quite wet but its due (according to the weather lie-ers) to be dry and sunny today tomorrow and saturday but with rain again on sunday.

shark · September 16, 2010, 12:48:03 pm

Heading up shortly - will report back this evening
