They weren't stealing, they were borrowing. They just didn't know who from.

Yes I was there as well and it was pretty dire. Rockatrocity was doable although you had to dry the last pocket out. Trigger cut was wet at the top. Clever Beaver completely soaked. The Left wall traverse was pretty much dry. Water dripping onto pads constantly from the roof and seepage everywhere...

Anyone been to Pill Box in last day or two? Presuming there will be a fair bit of wind so may actually yield good conditions this evening?
Split Infinity looking OK also?

Split Infinity and Pill Box both in fairly good nick last night. Some dampness (not of the sticky variety though) around the place.

Yeah, our advanced party got told Tuesday. Apparently there has been rockfall just after Mayfair Wall, but other sources told me somewhere up by Excursion. Either way I hope it hasn't affected any routes.
On a different note, we all baled over to Angel Bay (after being rained out of Ogwen) where one of our party managed to rip off the crimpy lump just right of the pinchy lump on Limpet. This change makes Limp Wrist harder and the sitter to Limpet pretty much impossible using my method (and I can't see any other way of getting into the standup without the lump for the left with a cross over onto the pinch with the right).
However the hold will definitely fit back easily and there are plans afoot to sika it on again if no one objects. Obviously the Angel Bay loving hordes on UKB will be as distraught as I was when the hold came off (ok so Panton, Doylo and maybe one or two others may be mildly inerested). If it had been the actual pinch hold, I think I would have cried. And if I hadn't already done the sitstarts to both Limp Wrist and Limpet, I think I would have cried myself to sleep last night.

yeah i would have been distarught if the pinch itself had come off, the rockfall was between the cutway and testament area, i was there soon after. I think it was a result of all the rain that morning.

Some distressing news: I was going over to the Ormes this evening, but thought I'd call Conwy Council first and find out if the Marine Drive was open yet. A lady in highways informed me that the first section of the road was expected to be shut until a week on Thursday (i.e. 4th Oct). Obviously you can still drive over the top and access the crags beyond the zig-zags, and you can still get to LPT via the beach, and there is always Little Orme, etc...
I called Doylo and he nearly broke down in tears on the phone. (I'm actually crying
tears of despair as I type this, which proves that I'm more of an Ormesman than him.)

So can you still walk up to Parisella's, or is the road closed to pedestrians too?

That's terrible. What a week. What with the hold coming off Limpet/Limp Wrist as well it ain't be the best week by far.
I don't know what to do on Thursday night now. Might just stay in and read some old North Wales Limestone guides.

It's still banned. They start work on Monday to sort out the rockfall and it is expected to take all week. Don't go until it is officially opened, it'll only cause problems if you are caught or seen.
Keep an eye on the BMC website for updates:
