Few seepage points but crag is 99% dry.

Unjustified looked dry enuff to do by the end of the day.

Everything bar the central stuff  (Overnite to Something Stupid)was soaked, mostly run-off rather than seepage. The Beck was a torrent, making the crag noisier than Kilnsey.

If there's a sunny and windy spell it may well dry out, and fairly quickly. The Oak wasn't too badly affected, though routes left of Predator were truely fubar.

Quite a lot of dry rock but with seepage at key/usual places. Very humid and greasy. Claggy/drizzly when we left. Looking at forecast rain tomorrow then dry on Friday. Sure to be dry rock at/over weekend but not all routes will be in nick.

I alway's think it's better to work a route in crap conditions as when it comes good, the moves feel easier. Any mileage on a project is useful long term. It'll go down soon.

lots of dry at the crag today, but many things with wet bits. Raindogs was bizarrely wet all the way to the second bolt, overnight many wet ish bits, some water coming out of th eundercling on chiselling / seventh aardvark. rest and top on zoolook wet, undercling pocket on gbh looked wet plus couple of other bits. plenty of sun, but after downpour last night maybe wetter tomorrow, or maybe not?

I'm informed it was hot, with much drying going on, but still the odd wet patch. Gareth posted a photo on his FB, looks like the Oak is still wet above the 4th bolt.

Cheers Andy. Took a look at photo. Looks like it will take a couple of days for Oak to dry.

As of yesterday: still quite a few wet patches on the LHS (not enough to stop Basia ambling up GBH), Central routes all had the odd damp hold, RD soaking below the second bolt. Dryish along to Scavenger, then some odd damp patches. Upstairs looked mostly dry. Very hot when the sun came out.

Yep, was upstairs (when not belaying Basia) and noticed all routes up serious young toads were dry. (not sure about further right didnt pay attention.
