Very eloquently put

Fairly big difference in dew point/air temp. Does anyone know how the cave is today?

More moisture than a whores snatch

I would take this as ambiguous as I have always imagined that they would be pretty dry....

Ally Smith · December 16, 2012, 05:21:33 pm

It wasn't actually as bad as i thought it might be, and wasn't too much of a wasted journey.
Most things were damp, but hatch start, cave life traverse & left wall were dry enough. Things were improving as the afternoon went on too.
Fingers crossed for no further temp rises and/or rainstorms.

any improvement at all? predictions for pill box conditions for wednesday too anyone?
cheers

Doylo · December 24, 2012, 12:27:02 pm

Drove past yesterday and looked reasonable. Pill box is pretty reliable but can be too cold in winter if its really windy.

Has anyone been recently, hows is the cave looking? Will it be worth the drive across this weekend?
cheers

Was in there on boxing day. Pretty gop. RA and its extensions was just about dry but the pinch was getting wet by 3ish and everything else was wet and getting even wetter. Although LWT was dry up until the end.
Hope this helps

Doylo · December 28, 2012, 06:12:11 pm

It rains every day so i wouldn't be too hopeful

mrjonathanr · January 04, 2013, 09:37:55 pm

Anyone been recently? Thanks.

Three Nine · January 06, 2013, 08:15:06 pm

Any word?

Doylo · January 07, 2013, 12:12:46 am

Doing ok apparently x

Anyone been recently? Cheers.

Doylo · January 16, 2013, 03:27:00 pm

Very dry

siomac · January 17, 2013, 08:23:47 pm

In perfect nick today! Didn't help me climb any better though.

Doylo · January 20, 2013, 09:21:59 pm

The chip foothold that you use to get the flake on RA has come off. It's also the starting right hand for Louis Armstrong. It ll get glued back on. If you're a midget with no intention of trying LA this wont affect you.

abarro81 · January 26, 2013, 10:18:59 am

Be interested in an update if anyone goes today, cheers.

c.j.d. · January 26, 2013, 01:51:46 pm

Dry and windy - it'll be fine. Was perfect on Thursday morning. RA without the foothold is harder. I did it using a smear on the right of the scar, thought it quite stern!

Tommy is gluing it back on tomorrow, so no touchy till Monday.

Doylo · January 26, 2013, 04:47:17 pm

Surely it would have gopped out with the temps. Will recover quick though

c.j.d. · January 26, 2013, 08:05:10 pm

You all go on about that. I think it sometimes affects the cave big t e, but not always.

There was a fair few days over Crimble I thought the same - I was there a lot, and only one day was a complete bag of the proverbial.

Should be mint tomorrow, despite the odd shower today. Nice temp, and really windy!

Doylo · January 26, 2013, 08:09:02 pm

Happens more often than not

Three Nine · January 28, 2013, 10:09:54 am

Was nice on sat. Some runoff on the lip, but nearly everything else pretty good. Would appreciate updates if anyone goes this week.

ziggytang · January 28, 2013, 02:24:25 pm

I thought conditions were pretty shit on Saturday when I was there midday. Can't see it being great this week with all this rain.

RA is definitely harder going for the flake minus the foothold...should leave it off and just get stronger.

abarro81 · January 28, 2013, 02:29:39 pm

3-9 means sun. Most stuff was dryable. Foothold is back on (thanks Doyle n Tommy(?))
