As of yesterday it was drying out nicely. Still a bit of seepage from the pocket at the start of Raindogs, a bit wet behind the 7th aardvark flake too, but all the routes on the left were dry and even stuff like The Groove and Unjustified were climbable. Toby did Predator in fine style with just one slightly wet foothold near the top.

If it rains a lot tomorrow it will probably start coming through by Sat night or so.

I don't know reliable this is site, but you can graph latest rainfall for the last 24hrs. Looks like its stopped raining at about 3/4pm! But it looks like there has alot of rain!

Any one been today, and can report on the crag conditions?

Anyone been down recently or have a view on what it might be like this weekend?

Am meant to be there Friday-Sunday but with rain forecast on and off both beforethen and over the weekend I'm not sure what conditions will be like - it's a fair trek to find it all seeping.

Ideal target routes would be Something Stupid, Seventh Aardvark, Yosemite Wall and some of the stuff around Space Race, but there's some flexibility to hit other routes inthe same sort of grade range if necessary.

Thanks for any help!

Some friends were down earlier in the week, and managed a route or two, but said it pretty minging and wet and "everything" was starting to seep and they sacked it off and came home early. I know Seventh was on their list of things to get on, but it was wet. Not sure if that was due to rain or seeps though.

[Stu Littlefair]

Any more recent news? Inquiring minds must know if a trip tomorrow is worth it...

[JamesR]

Quite a lot of seepage today, especially on the left hand side. Couple of starting holds on Predator wet, upper section looked dry.
Middle of the crag looked pretty dry, no drips coming from the bulge on Bat Route, everything still workable.
A bit of sun and a breeze tomorrow should help things...... Maybe worth the journey for red pointers, you might get lucky 
Here's hoping for a dry spell asap.

[Stu Littlefair]

Really, really not dry today. Mostly runoff to be fair, and will be fine after a couple of sunny days, but more water coming down the groove than I've ever seen.

Consenting through to overnight climbable. Oak and leftwards a write off.

[JamesR]

Surprisingly dried out today, amazing what a bit of wind can do. Still a bit if dampness in the back of some holds. Aside from the groove, the vast majority of wet streaks had gone and virtually no drips from any of the usual spots. Forecast looking good (low precipitation, high winds) for this week and into next weekend. Temps have cooled,

Was just wondering if anyone who has been there yesterday or today could tell me how much rain there has been and if they think the start and end of Predator will be dry tomorrow (tues)? I am vaguely wondering about trying to come up tomorrow but I am not sure I can face the long drive if it is likely to still be too wet to redpoint. Also, if anyone is keen to go then let me know.

Thanks!

Looking promising I think.
Yesterday, the starting undercut I use was wet at its RHS, but dry a few inches further left - ok & not too much of an issue.
Footholds by the first bolt which were soaking Sat had dried by late yesterday.
The traverse from the first chain was still a bit wet: the mono undercut was fine, but the thumb hole was a bit "spongy".
Moves through the roof were a bit wet for feet still - smears much drier than Sat - but still a bit wet on the tufa if that's the bit you use - mostly dry further right.
Top wall was pretty much completely dry.
It's would still have been drying a lot (windy) & not that much rain last night I think.

As James said - dried really well - even Yosemite Wall / Appetite looked fine by the end of the day.

[Jules L]

Many thanks for the detailed reply. It does sound like it could be worth a visit, especially as it seems sunny today.

[Nike Air]

Reports at end of the day would be great. Especially gbh and raindogs......

Jenny Woodwad said it was much drier yesterday - the whole of the left side looked fairly dry though the Raindogs deep pockets / flakes were seeping slightly.

[Nike Air]

This is good news thanks. Really sunny up here today so it could turn mint again there soon...

[J_duds]

any reports for Malham from today, including the upper teir, would be appreciated. 
thanks

Hmmm, well stuff was ckimbable but starting to wet out. It's was getting really misty as we left, making things pretty damp and the rock brown. People were up top tier earlier in day. Hard to say what it will be like today.......

[Tim Broughtonshaw]

how wet at end of today?? be ok tomorrow?

[kingholmesy]

Left side round Space Race wet. Right side mostly OK. Raindogs looked OK. Stuff a bit further left climbable but didn't look great. Heard someone say GBH was starting to seep at top. Don't know about upstairs.
