This month he's only doing masterclasses in how to sound like a mystic whilst talking about the weather.

[Johnny Brown]

You think its a coincidence Gib gets the rainy week, we really need to get some gimp in to cover for first quarter weeks though.

[Pantontino]

Bear in mind all the grit in the uk was also in primo condition today, and should be tomorrow also. Doesn't suffer from seepage either.

Same could be said of Porth Ysgo, Talfarach etc, or indeed any of the areas in the Pass or Ogwen. And as Super Furry pointed out the Cave seepage you alluded to has already dwindled away to a mere dribble.

Forecast looks excellent for the next week - get it all while you can folks! 

[Richie Crouch]

Can anyone let me know what conditions have been like recently? Thinking of going on Fri/Sat or Sunday (Thinking of combining it with some pass action, or as an alternative if it pisses down!)

[superfurrymonkey]

Was there Christmas eve and it was in ok nick a bit of seepage here and there, it`s not been raining much over that way so it should be ok for you I reckon.

[Doylo]

its fucked

[Monolith]

Pipe down Doyle! Nothing a towel and a bag of psyche couldn't sort out. Would have been easier to climb in my shower actually...

[Johnny Brown]

What? A minute ago it was some kind of all weather wall-alternative?

[Houdini]

its fucked

It was wet yes, but if you can be bothered it can be towelled and maintained throughout the session. Granted this takes motivation and effort but I'd prefer to be in the cave than a shitty indoor wall anyday. I have video evidence to back up my claims incidentally

[superfurrymonkey]

What kind of nicks it in? not sure why i`m asking as i`ll be going anyway whatever state it`s in

[JohnM]

Did you go to the cave today jamie?  What nick was is it in.  Think I might make a trip on sat.  Cheers John.

[superfurrymonkey]

Sorry John but I`ve not been this week, hopefully someone will be along soon with a heads up.

[Richie Crouch]

Was there on Tuesday and Rockattrocity was the only thing with every hold still dry. Lou Ferrino was pretty fucked as were Left Wall and beaver problems/lip area.

Pill Box was absolutely boners though, so we still managed to make the most of the day!

I may be a One Trick Pony (I know that, mind)



But if you can't see that Parisellas Cave is the greatest threat to UK bouldering then you are f.u.c.k.e.d.

It's your funeral.

Crumbs!  All got a bit frisky last night.

 why do people who hate limestone bother looking at this thread

Specifically, to annoy and provoke a defensive reaction, for personal amusement.  Why else? 

[Pantontino]

Did I mention how the Breck Road area often stays dry when other areas are smeed out:

Yet another good reason (as if there weren't enough already) to get back to the Ormes. Just heard that another cool link got done today - Breck Road into the highball finish of Burning Sphincter V6/7a (get yer heel up if you're wondering about the grade).

[BenF]

Good work Simon, your photo topo is waaaay better than my biro version that I've drawn into my rather haggard copy of NWB. 

I'll second the wet/damp weatherability of this area.  It's been pretty bone up there each time I've been to the cave lately, even when the cave/Split are greasy as f*ck.  I'll also commend the quality of everything that I've done up there; some excellent problems that really don't feel like much else in the area.

[superfurrymonkey]

I may be talking out of my burning sphincter  when I say that them roof problems up at the Breck Road area are some of the best in North Wales, that iv`e been on anyway. in fact I think I might head up there today

[BenF]

After thinking about it last night, although I agree with what I said yesterday (obviously) and with Superfurrymonkey, I like the fact that no-one is ever up there so I take back my comments...  It's shit up at Dumbell Flyer.  Not worth the stagger up the incline.

[r-man]

Cave conditions for the weekend anyone? Will it seep, yay or nay?

[Monolith]

Was a sopping mess yesterday sack it. Especially  f you're heading over from Sheff or the likes.

Disclaimer: Contrary to my assessment, you may get a more up to date/enthusiastic report.

Also, there's a smite welling up for any nay sayers feeling the need to slag my current shelter!

Just spent a week's hols in N Wales, in the rain.  Had a brief look at Parisella's on Wednesday (16th) and it was seepage city.  Out of interest, the only bit of dry rock I found was Harvey Oswald at Milestone.  Except fot the top, obviously.
