Can't see the facebook picture - tells me I don't have permission.

How was the Yosemite Wall area (Space Race in particular, but other stuff is of interest too) or stuff like Something Stupid/7th Aardvark looking? Not local enough to know which bits would still be seeping, so apologies if this is a stupid question and the areas in question are obviously the wettest of the wet.....:)

Thanks,

Andy

Yosemite wall and space race were both pretty wet. Something Stupid was soaked. Seventh Aardvark was climbable but with a soaking wet (as usual) undercut in the middle.

Started off utterly gopping but improved quickly and massively over the day.

On the upper tier there were parties on Obsession, Herbie and lowering down to work sections of Unjustified and The Groove. Downstairs people were on Space Race (still some drips from the undercuts though), Seventh Aardvark/Bat Route, Raindogs, Connect 4/5, saw some people on Magnetic Fields although it looked like there might have been some wetness from the ground. Consenting through to Free and even easier dry and getting done.

Didn't see people on them so don't hold me to it but it looked by the end of the day like Rose Coronary, Sycophants and Frankenstein would have been goers, plus maybe other stuff round there. Upstairs NAT, Toad of Beck Hall and the stuff left of Obsession all looked doable although again from the ground rather than from people being on them. Can probably update tomorrow eve too if it helps.

Almost all dried out on Sunday. Few wet undercuts on the left hand side and usual seepage points but generally pretty decent.

The guy who lives behind the cove center has had some hassle from people trying to sleep in a silver renault overnight in the car park.

Can we please try to be nice, for a couple of reasons.
1) its a great free place to park in the village
2) the parish council allow climbing at the cove and it would be annoying to piss one off.
3) I just want to go climbing not act as some mediator
its still dry and there is no laying snow.

Hello...

So sorry, that was us - but bit of a misunderstanding - we weren't intending on staying in the car park! We'd just got back from the pub when he came and spoke to us, and were leaving anyway...

Thought we were polite, tried to make it clear we didn't intend to stay - didn't mean to piss anyone off.

Cheers

:agree:

I usually try and park in one of the official places, if there is room, so that the dude's back yard contains one fewer battered climber's car.

As of today (Friday) the crag was chilly and had bits and bobs of snow about on the top, but was mostly fairly dry, although seepage (runoff? hard to tell) was increasing through the day. undercuts of Yosemite Wall starting to weep quite a bit of water.
Unless there is a decent amount of sun soon, it'll probably be pretty damp for a few days.

The beck went from non existent just below the crag to non crossable without wellies in the time i was there, though that often bears little relation to the seepage in my experience, there must be quite a lot of wet up there somewhere...

It was better yesterday, though not great conditions, much more pleasant with the odd bit of sun.  Quite a bit of water around the Oak etc area, which did not receed in the day, other than that stuff stayed about the same - no particular drying or further wetting.

However, looking at the current wind / fog / humidity readings on here, and the met office NP report, sounds like it may be back to drizzly spooge today, would be interested if it is otherwise from anyone who has been today?

The catwalk was mostly dry today despite it pissing down all day.  Yosemite Wall was climbable, as was Tremelo despite a couple of wet holds. All the shorter routes were dry, but looked pretty wet over the roof.

Pretty cold though.

Anyone know how things are looking after the last few days, especially around space race & the general yosemite wall area? Looking to head up on Saturday

Cheers!

Same question from me, I'd be interested in how the upstairs routes are looking as well - Herbie, Serious Young Toads, L'Obsession? Looks to be the likely venue this weekend if I can tempt people out from over here.

Friday 13th:

Seepage on all routes between Overnight and Cry Freedom. None in a climbable state.
Predator to Baboo have minor wet streaks but are workable.
Seepage on all routes between New Dawn and Yosemite Wall.
Almost everything right of Overnight dry.
Upstairs nearly all looked dry though I didn't venture up for a close look; a couple of teams were up there.
Variable wet streaks on the super routes above the roof.

I looked like alot of the easier things on the right were dry. Sure there will be enough for a days climbing.
