Nope, everything was in shocking condition. Condensation and seepage/run-off in an evil combination.

Everything wet today, and i mean everything!
Was GA dry?
Not a chance!

What about Full Tilt?

Full Tilt is the first half of True North non?
Yesterday everything was grim, today things may be better (I dunno) but I'd guess Full Tilt (and North Buttress in general) would still be wet due to seepage. I'm guessing but I think GA would be the same. I may head there tomorrow so will provide an accurate report.

Book your GA slot early - this weekend is for the crush.
(shame I'll be in the scruffy peak(s) hey.)

Andy F · September 10, 2009, 04:26:22 pm

So you're saying GA is dry

$:-\$

Steve R · September 11, 2009, 06:45:17 pm

anyone been today? surely getting back towards dry enough for some late season glory?

Andy F · September 11, 2009, 07:37:00 pm

Seconded

uptown · September 12, 2009, 07:46:10 am

It was in pretty good nick on thursday so It'd suprise me if the conditions weren't prime for this weekend.

nik at work · September 12, 2009, 07:47:23 am

I agree, should be nice there this weekend (if a little busy?). Go crush Andy.

Andy F · September 12, 2009, 08:16:54 am

I would if I could find ~~someone mug enough to repeatedly belay me~~ climb with

Andy F · September 13, 2009, 08:38:00 pm

Two things:

1) the crag was almost all bone dry. Ecstacy wet, as was Full Tilt, UA looked okish, GA a bit damp on the undercut. A nice breeze blowing down the valley, conditions were primo. And no-one else was there so I baled to a baking Malham.

2) Don't post after a few beers

Adam Lincoln · September 14, 2009, 05:05:35 pm

Really good today, mostly dry. Ecstasy wet though, as is Dalliance.

Adam Lincoln · September 18, 2009, 10:45:07 pm

Mostly dry today. Full Tilt wet, GA undercuts a tad seepy, prob be ok with a bit of drying. Dalliance wet. Bulge wet.

Andy F · September 19, 2009, 07:44:18 am

Cheers Adam. Will be there Sunday

Marky · September 19, 2009, 07:17:05 pm

I didn't really look but would think it would be ok. Final one for the collection

Marky · September 19, 2009, 08:38:08 pm

Thanks Adam. Yeah but I think the last could be the hardest for me and it could well be wet again soon but I can.t ignore it any longer!

Andy F · September 21, 2009, 10:47:47 pm

Should have posted this yesterday but as of Sunday pretty much all dry apart from some stuff on N.buttress (Full tilt, UA).The Daliance pockets were damp, GA undercut seepy but improved with ragging. If the lack of rain continues then they should/may improve further.

Andy F · September 25, 2009, 08:13:59 am

Anyone been up this week? I guessing it'll be dry, but would like to make sure.

flyguy · September 25, 2009, 08:26:55 am

should be heading there this afternoon if there is a particular route you want us to look at for you?

I'll check GA for you

Marky · September 25, 2009, 12:12:32 pm

Can you please check if Urgent Action has fully dried out

Serpico · September 25, 2009, 08:43:37 pm

The big pocket by the 4th bolt was still seeping today, as was the groove just up and left.
It might be dry-able enough to do as the rest looked ok.
