You should have come the pass yesterday Jamie... cold, sunny and with a light breeze. It's one of the few days I have not regretted missing out on cave action!

[superfurrymonkey]

Good conditions today with only a couple of places affected by seepage, the shot hole on trigger cut and the hold on the greenheart connection that's only dry once a year or something.

Was anyone down today need a heads up for tomorrow after this deluge

[Richie Crouch]

Hoping to get back on Tuesday afternoon/evening with some lamps and praying for good news! Hopefully there is a mighty strong breeze (sans rain) tomorrow into the cave.

Driving along the A55 yesterday afternoon we could barely see the Ormes through the 'black sheets of rain', yet upon arrival we found a completely dry cave. Even the pinch block on Left Wall High was dry - although by nightfall it was just reached by a trickle of seepage.

The seepage has really kicked in, sidepull on Loui wet, pinch and drilled pocket on RA affected as was the foothold for the move to the flake, cavelife etc was in good nick as was trigger cut but all the beavers were affected. Always a session to be had down the bottom though.

I'm thinking about coming up on Saturday, either to spend some time under Jerry's Roof or hide out in the cave.  Would really appreciate a conditions update on both, if possible.  It's a 4 hour drive to get up north, which I prefer to avoid if conditions are bad!  Cheers.

Was there on Wednesday and it was in pretty good nick, depends what you want to get on really as parts of the cave are pretty much guaranteed to be dry!

Just heard from Ian who said the Caves wet from a temperature inversion not from seepage so should be OK It's drying where the winds getting to it, I've turned up in the morning and it's been like this and by the afternoon It's been boners!. The forecast is for no rain till tomorrow.

I was there today and it was in the worst condition i have ever seen it.  Not a single problem in condition, it may well wind dry in parts but the seepage was pretty bad.

Yes from condensation due to a temperature inversion not seepage.

[tim palmer]

um ok whatever you say.  To me it looked alot like seepage all over the lou f side pull, the RA footholds, coming out of the starting holds of TC and CT, but what do i know?  nothing obviously.  hope it dried out.

[superfurrymonkey]

It was still quite damp today almost but not quite sticky damp! There's no wind about but we managed to dry enough rock to have a session on cave life and RA as for the side pull on Loui that's often wet and usually the last hold to dry from seepage.

[superfurrymonkey]

Strange times in the cave at the moment, got there this morning to find it covered yet again in condensation which dried enough for session only to see it start to wet out again at the end of the day!! Seem to remember last November being similar. I get the impression if you got there first thing it could be soaked but it's pretty dry by about 1ish. 

[superfurrymonkey]

Mint and with the added bonus of seeing Leah Crane coming close to doing RA in a session!! 

[saltbeef]

any idea how the pass is currently? jerry's roof etc?

[Pantontino]

Has been a bit damp and warm in the mountains, but the temperatures are due to plummet, so it should come good in the next few days.

[saltbeef]

fingers crossed for the weekend...
