a substantial amount of rain fell on saturday evening, but i didn't notice any seepage on sunday. Is this likely to come through on monday like malham (delayed seepage) or has it been so dry that this will not effect the seepage?

cheers

It was still dry today, but then it royally pissed it down.
The Ashes is pretty well ever-dry.
Still and humid as hell though...

Tim Broughtonshaw · July 15, 2009, 02:53:07 pm

any updated reports? Have the big 3 yorkshire crags been getting as much rain as we have in manchester?

Cheers

Any news......? The suspense is palpable

Everything is bone dry if that's what you're after.
Conditions - good until about 4 today then progressively worse as the breeze dropped and the midgies came out.

Which is just after I got there

Did get slightly better later, but not by much. As Uptown said, all still very dry. Which is nice.

Cheers Andy. Will see you there on saturday, think Tim's up as well.

On saturday, all routes on north buttress very wet but a fair few routes on other buttresses were dry like the Ashes, Cold Steal, Biological and Grooved Arete.

Tim Broughtonshaw · July 20, 2009, 08:26:53 am

much drier conditions on sunday. north buttress had dried back a lot by the time i left at 6pm, still some seepage present there but suspect that will be gone by the end of today.

cheers

Hi All,

Any updated conditions reports? I believe there has been a fair amount of rain there on monday and tuesday... hows the seepage?

north_country_boy · July 22, 2009, 09:02:57 pm

As of 6pm today:

Northbutress = Soaked, all routes unclimable, including dead calm on the right etc.

The Bulge & Ecstasy = wet near the mid height break and just above

RH end = Subculture/Grooved arete area mostly dry, but wetness at start of daliance

LH End = Looked mostly ok, some wet streaks down trad routes in centre of face, ashes dry, streak reaching down onto dreamtime

China Crisis/Frankie area = mostly all dry

Ripper/Soft Option area = very wet, lots of wet patches and streaks, biological looked ok

Not sure about other areas not mentioned above.... fair amount of showers today but also sunny spells and a bit of a breeze so should improve....

Sticky Wicket, Ashes, All Out were bone dry. Might have been seepage on Indian Summer but I can't remember.

Cheers fella, i ll give some feed back after my visit tomrrow too.

As of 9pm yesterday:

Similar state to wednesday. See North Country Boy's post above. Mostly dry under main overhang apart from Deja Vu area and some streaks around Dreamtime/Sticky Wicket. Think Ashes and routes to right dry. Still wet beneath Ecstasy/Bulge. Biological and Soft Option have a few wet bits near the start but dry higher up, so may be climbable. North Buttress still wet.

The runout at the top of the Ashes had wet streaks on it, may well have been climable for someone braver than me but my intial feel of the wet jug in the break above the last bolt was enough to put me off. It felt drier by the end of the evening and I'm hoping it will be dry on Sunday

Marky · July 24, 2009, 06:09:33 pm

Anybody know if Supercool will be dry Saturday?

Pretty much the same as mentioned before. Grim but dry stuff amongst the wet ones.

Andy F · July 25, 2009, 10:52:57 am

It was, as Ian said, drying back on Thursday. If there's not been much rain then I'd expect that trend to contiune. The forecast for today is good, so it'll be drier on Sunday.

uptown · July 25, 2009, 11:34:44 am

I really like the term 'drying back'.
It was improving all day yesterday so I should imagine today and tomo will be worthwhile before the rains hit again sunday/monday.

Andy F · July 29, 2009, 11:26:49 am

Amazingly dry yesterday. Most suff at the LH end ok, Ecstacy wet, Biological Ok, N.Buttress better than it had been for weeks, Under the Thumb okish, They Brush Me and routes to the R including Subculture and GA in good nick. But it did royally piss down yesterday so it may well be a lot worse in the next day or two.
