Anyone been lately and know the likely prospects for Saturday?

And, if anything 7b+ish at Malham or Kilnsey might be dry and anyone needs a partner (or can tolerate an inveterate belay cadger), please get in touch - if I can't climb I might feel duty bound to visit my parents.... in Selby..urrgghhhh.

Not too bad this evening considering. Wet streaks lengthening though. New Dawn dry but routes to left wet in places. Top of Oak wet at end.

Did you notice how the tufa & bulge section of the groove was doing?

There was a wet patch above the belay of SS but holds looked OK. Probably worse tomorrow.

Everything from Connect 4 rightwards dry. Teams on GBH and immediately adjacent routes so guess they were Ok. Stuff in between looked pretty wet. Space Race etc wet.  Routes pulling left out of Yosemite Wall looked OK.

The Groove got climbed today. Damp patches seemed to be encroaching slightly during the day but the Groove seemed to be holding out

[JacobJacob]

Every hold on the groove was bizzarely dry, even though there were damp sections about 6 inches either side sometimes...

[Kingy]

Some big streaks coming down left of the Groove this morning. the Oak, cry freedom and maximum looked wet but Predator and Zoolook looked OK. Unjustified all dry strangely. The sun came out at lunchtime and the runoff went back very quickly but some seepage remained due to the recent rainfall.

[kingholmesy]

Any updates? Particulary interested in stuff up to 7b+.

Better than mint it was mint imperial

[webbo]

Malham in good nick, England still in Euro Champs and Bonnett on UKBouldering.Is this the end of the world as we know it.

I never thought I'd live to see the day!

Any info from today? - Mescalito/New Dawn in particular

[nai]

amazingly good conditions, I have limited knowledge but I believe there was someone on both of those routes today.

New Dawn was dry but a section of rock on Mescalito just before it joins New Dawn was wet.

Very, very wet (with run off mostly) this morning, but dried up significantly through the day. Most things looked climbable, except the central section (Cry Freedom, mid-ledge maybe, Austrian oak). Top of Zoolook possibly still wet at the end. Everything right of overnight looking good. Even folk on The Groove at the end of the day.

just following on from the above, groove dry and unjustified dry. Midges came out about 5-6pm when the wind died and it was hell, worst I've had, belayers running around like cirque du soleil

[The Sausage]

Anybody been there this evening? What was the midge situaton? Thinking of driving up tomorow arvo from Sheffield, but don't fancy getting chased off by midges after 2 hours.
Midge predictions much appreciated!

[TobyD]

Midge predictions much appreciated!

sw wind may provide relief, but when i've been out recently, they seem to start getting real bad at about half 5 -6 ...

[shark]

[J_duds]

Cheers

Midgy hell and very greasy, I did not stay very long but others did. Not much actual seepage just condensation above a certain height!!

[Doylo]
