Absolutely pissed it down today, lots of seepage started coming through very quickly. The usual suspects will be dry for a while longer, North Buttress was fooked.

Oh yeah, and if you do plan on chancing it, bring wellies or flip-flops; the beck is too high to ford keeping trainers dry.

As wet as I ever seen Kilnsey on Sunday. Only 4 completely dry routes:
Metal Guru
Alternative EXtra Option
Ground Effect
Truth Drug

It was drying back as we left about 5pm so with this weeks forecast sun should improve quickly.

Matt has added a direct finish to AEO at about 7c/7c+
That should be dry too!

Sorry I meant to say:
Matt has added a very good direct finish to No More Jumping to Conclusions (which finishes at the same lower off as Alternative Optional Extra) at about 7c/7c+
That should be dry too!

Air Rage, feels more like 7c+ than 7c.

You're a machine. If I give you my PC can you upgrade that as well?

Are you saying the new extension is Air Rage? Different route, different buttress. Air Rage is Quiet Flight extension. This thing is to the right of Air Rage, finishes at Extra Option lower off. Climbs really well - some friable footholds still, as discovered yesterday. I'll withhold comment on the grade as it was greasy yesterday, so felt hard!

Everything right of Butchers Dog was wet today also wet is 50 for 5, Directissima, The Bulge. Maybe half a dozen dry routes! Oh and it rained a lot today!

Elusive sticky damp on those few dry(ish) lines...

Very cold and pretty grim on Sunday - most stuff very wet. Only dry routes were:
Metal Guru
Ground Effect
No More Jumping
Alternative Extra Option
Highway 395

Only 2 teams at the crag all day - cannot understand why!

Went past Kilnsey on my way home for a second look. All that is vaguely dry is Big C and Face Value. The Ashes, Sticky Wicket etc is soaking. Highway, Optional etc all soaked. Everything is very wet except those two warm ups.

The surrounding fields are soaking, the roads are rivers.

Grim!
