Totally dry still but felt a bit humid till after 7ish.

ducko · May 23, 2011, 04:58:09 pm

dry, a little greasy

Anyone got any recent updates on conditions in the cave? Any ideas on what it might be like this weekend?

al123 · June 03, 2011, 06:05:05 pm

i guess the cave is dry after this lovely weather. but are you allowed to climb there in the evenings this weekend? doesn't say anything about it in the guide so assume its ok.
also is stuff in the cave hard per say? i know it depends on the grades but do you need to be very strong to get up some of the v5/v6's? cheers

I dont know about conditions but it is hard. I climb 7A > 7A+ on grit (done the odd 7B) and can only play on a few things at the cave.. its a good place to go there and I'm sure you'll like it, but most of the stuff there is either warm up or nails (in my puntering view..)

ps. no V grades at the cave.....

ziggytang · June 03, 2011, 06:22:45 pm

You can climb there all year round, any time. Just go and enjoy it, don't worry about the grades.

having said that....http://www.ukclimbing.com/forums/t.php?t=461587

Looks like marine drive is shut Saturday, doesn't say how long for though.

al123 · June 03, 2011, 07:23:46 pm

Richie Crouch · June 03, 2011, 08:51:22 pm

It's all jugs, get involved!

ianto9 · June 03, 2011, 09:26:26 pm

can't be worse than pigeons last night which was more than ok

ziggytang · June 17, 2011, 09:32:56 am

Conditions were ok yesterday, tad greasy. But there were loads of feckin midges in there, mingin.

Doylo · June 22, 2011, 09:22:15 pm

amazing conditions for june at the mo!

ziggytang · July 05, 2011, 05:29:59 pm

No Idea about the conditions, but Alex Puccio was there today according to my mate...

Dhanny · July 06, 2011, 07:29:09 pm

any chance of it being good tomorrow?? cheers

ziggytang · July 06, 2011, 07:46:53 pm

It was fine if a tad greasy in there today, so it should be fine tomorrow as well

blacky · July 08, 2011, 01:46:58 pm

Anyone been today? Seepage?

Doylo · July 08, 2011, 01:52:52 pm

Hard to call, doubt seepage will be a problem but might be slightly smeggy as its nasty weather. Probably worth a look if you're not driving too far

Ally Smith · July 08, 2011, 03:01:53 pm

All dry last night, though starting to feel a bit smeggy as the light faded. Should be a goer.

blacky · July 08, 2011, 03:47:36 pm

Thanks for the beta! Might do a middle of the day hit to minimise the chances of encountering morning/evening smeg.

You might bump into the middle of the day smeg though...

(sorry, its been a long day..)

ducko · July 08, 2011, 04:39:57 pm

its raining big style down this end so expect very poor conditons today/tomorrow

blacky · July 09, 2011, 09:46:48 am

Hmmmmm, perhaps not worth the risk, especially when you factor in middle-of-the-day smeg. Damn. Might sack it and go to the tor instead

ducko · July 09, 2011, 08:03:56 pm

shockingly good conditons today..
also i found a 'beal' bag so i brought it home so it didnt get stolen, so owner pm me
