Its pretty hot and still in the Peak today. Is it likely to be the same in the Cave? Just trying to work out if a long drive to get there is worth it.
Cheers

Plenty of sun down this way so it should be good

[Dicker]

Any updates? - really wanna try Incomplete Youth. Any reports would be great. Thank you.

[joe dobson]

Was there yesterday and everything was bone dry as far as I could see, had a great time for a first visit too.

[ducko]

popped in quickly this evening was decent!

[dafrob]

All main lines dry this morning. Nothing obvious wet. Been dry all day too...

[Doylo]

Still ok.road and footpath shut this Saturday

[kingholmesy]

road and footpath shut this Saturday

How come?  Presume this means the Cave will be inaccessible for the day?

[Doylo]

Don't know. It opens up at 6pm.

[liam fyfe]

Is anyone heading there after 6? Or Sunday? Does anyone think it will seep if the rain keeps up? as me and a few mates are going up tomorrow morning. Hoping to catch a break in the weather for some pass action too. Cheers

[Doylo]

Its bound to start getting wetter soon but there should be plenty to go at in the short term.

[Doylo]

Nice avatar Liam 

[liam fyfe]

Sweet. You about on either day? im keen to try pilgrim Will that be ok? Cheers

[Doylo]

Maybe later on on Sunday.  Pilgrim should be ok, i'm going to try it today so will let you know.  The end of RA is the only bit that gets wet usually and its often dryable.

More info on the road closure copied from the BMC website for anyone that is interested:

"A car rally being staged at Llandudno means the Marine Drive on the Great Orme will be shut to all cars with restricted pedestrian access on Saturday 9 June 2012.

The BMC has only just been informed about the rally and the closures affecting the Marine Drive.
 
Climbing will not be allowed above the road - meaning  all of Upper Pen Trwyn - throughout most of Saturday until after 6pm.
 
Access to Lower Pen Trwyn will only possible at very low tide by walking in directly along the beach from the pier.
 
Bouldering at Parisella's Cave will also be inaccessible, unless you can walk in from the Happy Valley road which leads to the ski-slope."

[liam fyfe]

Cheers fella. Good luck on pilgrim, hopefully catch you Sunday.

[OffshoreAndy]

Caves looking a  good / only option for tomorrow but don't want to make the long drive if we can't get to the cave. The BMC doesn't help much - 'if you can walk in' - suggest you can but may be told to leave or that that path may be blocked? Has anyone climbed in the cave in the past with the rally on and was everything OK or is it best to stay away?
Cheers

We were over at the same time last year and could neither drive in or walk in. Some people tried to walk in from around the back and were told to leave. I think they re-opened the road later on in the afternoon but not sure what time

[peewee]

Was good conditions today, the odd hold starting to seep, hopefully it's still dry on sunday.

[The Sausage]

If anyone gets there this evening, after the road re-opens, I'd really appreciate an update. Travelling over from Shef for the day tomorrow, so don't want a 5 hour round trip to look at wet rock. We've got plenty of that over here!

[The Sausage]

A bit drippy in there today. Most things climbable, but seemed to be getting a bit worse towards the end of the day.

[Doylo]

Ok today. If people want to stuff paper towels in cracks to dry out the holds can they please take them away at the end of their session.

[ziggytang]

Surely shoving tissue, paper towels and caking shit in chalk just prolongs the seepage by not letting it all out quickly in the first place?! I dunno, it looks a state though.

[turnipturned]

Any news on how the cave is holiding out?

[Pantontino]

Was dry in there last night, but sidepull on LF was damp.

There's been a lot of rain since then though so not sure about tomorrow?
