I'm afraid I can't help you, but if you chance it, could you please provide an update - I'm hoping to get on Wysiwig or Sticky Wicket myself this weekend (in fact was hoping for Friday but am partnerless).

[dunnyg]

can let you know if we go up in an odd number there if you want. plans are still unmade. Based in leeds so might be able to give lift from here but dont know, dont know where you are based. Will check out the routes for you if you arent there

[moose]

I am based in Ilkley - around 35 minutes from the crag - and have a car - so transport is not a problem.  Please let me know if anyone fancies a trip on Friday and needs a partner - I have the day booked and hate the thought of it going to waste.

Guess you'll have to 'see what you get' 

[moose]

btw - the sun is now out in Ilkley and there's a decent breeze (the pavements are already dry) - I suspect you might be in luck.

[dunnyg]

PM'd you moose

[JohnM]

We'll be in a 3 at Kilnsey from 11.30 onwards tomorrow Moose so you are welcome to join.

[moose]

Cheers  - I'll see you there.  I'll be the fella who looks like Peter Crouch crossed with a broken angle-poise lamp!  For a horrible moment I was contemplating going into work, despite having the day off.....

was pretty dry yesterday despite the rain over the weekend although starting to drip, we only climbed on the right hand side but there were ropes on ecstasy and urgent action so they are presumably dry. 

On a different note someone had taken a particularly watery shit on the path below the crag, they had not attempted to clear it up or remove their toilet paper, i am pretty sure it was a group of non-climbers I saw who were gormlessly wondering around when the crag had quietened down in the evening.  I am not sure what the function of this little rant is other than to express my irritation to no one in particular.

Anyone know who cut the big tree down just to the right of Massala Martyr? I assume they asked the farmer first?

[flyguy]

Not pointing any fingers but i think that might have been the stallion, The shit that is, i dont know who cut the tree down.

You calling me a watery shit?


Not guilty in this instance. Of sloppiness and or fell-age.

it was fear at the prospect of the epic walk out

[TobyD]

quite a bit of drizzle blowing into much of the crag today, and some increased seepage on North Buttress: many larger holds full of a nice damp slick of saturated chalk. Lovely. 

[Three Nine]

If anyone goes today please could they report back?

[Jules L]

Has anyone been up today? Is anything dry? Thanks!

[Davo]

North Buttress was fairly wet. Urgent Action seeping badly, Full Tilt wet at bottom. Rest of crag seemed okay. Rained a bit whilst we were there so could come through a bit more tomorrow but overall should be climbable.

[Jules L]

Thanks for the update. Sounds like it's worth a visit.

[TobyD]

basically all dry, bar the Thumb (start and probably any deeper undercuts), UA (anything pockety or juggy)  and Full Tilt (bottom bit plus hold most clip bolt 3 from); Soft Option (couple of pockets on lower section).
WYSIWYG sporting a few damp bits but nothing that would put most people off. Other than that, it's all good.

[Three Nine]

Full of cunts tho.

[TobyD]

Full of ... tho.

that wasn't really necessary was it?
Wash your mouth out with soap & water, then go and towel dry North Buttress, as penance.

[Three Nine]

Wash north buttress with soap and water? I'm on it.

[moose]

It was alternating sunshine and torrential downpours all day at Kilnsey.  Very little wind so no wetness being swept onto the rock.  When I left no-one was climbing any further right than Frankie, so I am afraid I can't comment on North Buttress seepage (the folks on Stolen, Comedy etc seemed content enough, but are routes ever wet?).

If anyone is off to Kilnsey or Malham on Saturday and needs a partner / doesn't mind an orphan tagging along, please get in touch (PM me) - I am keen to get out but partnerless.

Any updates from today? Particularly interested in The Ashes.
