Mostly hard.

Mostly Long and Hard. Missus.

Got a text from Sharpholds this morning. Most stuff wet 

[nik at work]

I haven't been there today but I'd imagine that wetness this morning was due to condensation as cloud was very low I expect conditions later will have been much improved. I had a day of good conditions at a minor yorkshire sport venue. Don't despair kids, I think you'll be all right for tomorrow.

I know there isn't much fact in this post, but everybody likes a nice dose of optimism now and again right?

When there's a 100+ mile round trip at stake I'll take a dose of sharpholds realism. Tor it is.

Who dares, sends.

it wasn't that bad.

However the conditions weren't very good, and there are an awful lot of black bits.

[clgladiator]

second the wetness, and wasnt condensation either 

[nik at work]

I stand (well sit actually) corrected. As you were gents...

Arrived 10:00 am yesterday to see crag pretty wet. Most routes left of Zoolook/Predator had too many wet streaks on them to climb. Predator was dry enough - just - to work but nowhere near dry enough to redpoint with all the top section dripping. The Oak wall was dripping too. Raindog area OK but the Unjustified area etc. wet.
Peevie inspected the top wall too was was reportedly "not very inticing". Tim & Basher climbed on Conehead all day though so odd route OK.
Wet streaks dried back during the day - especially when the sun came out a bit in the afternoon but will undoubtedly reappear overnite.
Bottom line - worth it if ur working something that is dry - skip it for red-pointing, at least for a few days!

[Tim Broughtonshaw]

still some seepage today but very very hot. hense bad climbing conditions but lots of drying occurred. all routes downstairs as i type are redpointable inckuding cry freedom. undoubtedly will seep back a bit in the morning but looking very positive.

anyone know what time of day routes like cry freedom and bat route come into the shade at this time of year? Some reason i cant remember...

[The Aaronator]

4-4.30 for Cry Freedom 5ish for Bat Route.

[Nike Air]

woe, still so late! Cheers for knowledge Aaron.

[Andy F]

The sun's low in the sky atm, so it takes a good while for those routes to get the shade. Most stuff pretty dry by 4pm yesterday, not a surprise given the crag was hotter than the surface of the sun yesterday 

[Ally Smith]

Anyone free for a session on wed or fri? PM me. Especially keen for Zoolook.

[Andy F]

Anyone been up/going up today? I'm hoping this dry spell will sort out any remaining seepage issues. 

[JohnM]

Are you thinking of going on sunday Andy?  I'll be on the bike in the area on saturday so could check Overnite on the way home if there is still enough light and would be keen for sunday if you are about?

[Andy F]

Yes and yes. But you knew that anyway...

Did anyone go to Malham today? How was it looking?

[TobyD]

[Andy F]

All dry and mint conditions today.

[Three Nine]

Yes. Mint yesterday and today. Most things look do-able atm.

[slackline]

According to Steve McClure...

for those that care (simon) The Oak at malham is dry, as is the whole crag!

[Marky]

Anybody know the state of Malham given todays rain - interested in Breach of the Peace upstairs if anybody has been today?

[Marky]

Everything pretty dry yesterday even The Groove was bone. Pretty good conditions although a little warm upstairs in the sun
