That's a twat, I was hoping to climb there Saturday

Anyone know if The cave has suffered from seepage or condensation in the last couple of days?

It was a bit seepagy on Sunday but not too bad, not sure exactly which bits as it was my first visit and I'm not so sure of all the routes etc. The start of Lou Ferrino was def damp, (not that I was trying it).

Doylo · October 22, 2013, 10:16:21 am

It's literally been dry all year but it's raining every day at the mo so she gonna get wet

masonwoods101 · October 22, 2013, 10:56:10 am

So she will be buggered for next week?

Doylo · October 22, 2013, 10:58:03 am

Gonna be wet holds and dry holds

Andy B · October 22, 2013, 02:26:53 pm

On Sunday the finishing rib of rock atrocity, the first few holds on Louis Armstrong, the second l side pull and rail on ferrino, most of broken heart and crucial times were all wet, with a few other drip points throughout the cave.

galpinos · October 22, 2013, 02:55:54 pm

More importantly, did she get the tick?

Andy B · October 22, 2013, 06:31:11 pm

Pinged off the last move.

Richie Crouch · October 30, 2013, 03:48:35 pm

Popped in for a play yesterday afternoon. Most stuff is dry apart from clever beaver, crucial, Lou ferrino 2nd sidepull, end of left wall high, undercut pinch shared by Rockatrocity and Armstrong and the first left undercut on Armstrong was a bit damp too.

Hopefully it won't piss down every day or warm up by the weekend!

Kingy · November 09, 2013, 06:19:51 pm

Not perfect but Cave life, Highlife, RA, Clever Beaver and Left Wall all dry. A few drips here and there and streaks but basically sound.

Doylo · November 12, 2013, 05:14:41 pm

Road shut tomorrow and I think 16th/17th

Doylo · November 12, 2013, 05:33:45 pm

Yep shut this weekend

Kingy · November 13, 2013, 07:01:57 pm

Any walk in access to the cave?

Doylo · November 13, 2013, 07:56:28 pm

Don't think so no.

Kingy · November 23, 2013, 10:26:10 pm

Mediocre today, cave life/ RA OK and Lou dryable but LWH finish stubbornly wet. Box condensed out

B-Bird · December 04, 2013, 08:02:22 pm

If it pisses it down with rain tomorrow morning will the cave most likely remain dry, or will it just be a waste of time?

BenF · December 14, 2013, 09:46:13 am

The temperature and moisture has been all over the place lately, anyone been the cave lately or know how it is? I'm guessing that both seepage and condensation could be prevalent but who knows, the Orme is a fickle mistress.

Doylo · December 14, 2013, 12:44:56 pm

Can't believe how dry it is in here! B.O.N.E. And empty...

BenF · December 14, 2013, 04:23:58 pm

Good knowledge Chris, thanks. Oh and that was good curry beta the other week too. We both enjoyed our meal at that Bengal place.

Doylo · December 14, 2013, 04:39:19 pm

I know about Llandudno eating establishments . I've had my money drained by women in most of them. Couldn't believe how dry the Orme is for December. All the routes in Pigeons were climbable and warm enough too.

BenF · December 14, 2013, 09:03:46 pm

Wow, that's brilliant. May be down on the Orme tomorrow then, although it looks pretty good to the east so may try yorks grit. See you soon .

Richie Crouch · December 21, 2013, 05:18:56 pm

Did anyone go today? Thinking of popping down tomorrow/Monday.

Has it condensed/seeped much?

Doylo · December 21, 2013, 05:34:31 pm

Still pretty good but will probably have more wet holds soon.

ksjs · December 23, 2013, 04:08:23 pm

There yesterday and what was dry was good but there was lots of seepage / drips generally. All of Left Wall was dry except for some of the flat edges e.g. above the flake but these were dryable. Arch was bone dry, Rockatrocity dry too apart from pinch. Lou Ferrino rail and 2nd pocket/side pull on left were wet . Didn't look at much else, lots of drainage coming down onto Cave lip from above.
