We were only climbing around the main wall area upto frankie and everything was perfect. I had a look at your routes and they looked ok from the ground. but dont hold me to this as im only a punter. not much help sorry!

Ga pretty dry today. Its on andy! See you tomorrow we are camping near by.

Andy F · September 26, 2009, 11:23:58 pm

Be there around 11

Somehow yesterday was more seepy than Friday and Saturday, even though no rain for weeks.
If your travelling any distance for redpoints i'd stay away if your projects are
Dalliance, Full Tilt, Northern Exposure, Dr Crimp, GA Urgent Action. These are all workable but not redpointable!

Hopefully we will get another couple of weeks out of Kilnsey yet.

Don't suppose you saw how Massala Martyr was looking did you?

It was okay on Friday, but didn't look again Sat or Sun. I am guessing a tad damp in the foot break at start.

Adam Lincoln · October 01, 2009, 09:15:57 pm

Most stuff drying today. Dalliance jug rail wet. Full Tilt repointable. Urgent action probably ok. Grooved arete fine. Masala looked ok. Most other stuff fine. Oh, Bulge ok but Ecstasy maybe a tad damp before it gets steep.

Heard secondhand that Kilnsey is holding in despite the rain. Not sure on specifics but all is not lost yet.

nik at work · October 04, 2009, 08:42:01 am

It was almost all dry on Friday, although conditions weren't great.
Hopefully it can survive this weekend dampness because next week was looking pretty good last time I checked. Any Massala Martyr reports gratefully received.

Andy F · October 04, 2009, 08:34:18 pm

Massala Martyr, infact the whole crag was in as good a condition as I've seen it for well, this year. Absoluely mint conditions and only one other party at the crag. Where were you all?

Thanks for asking

Mint conditions and??

(I was at a 5th birthday party, I'm glad I avoided the weekend crowds

)

GCW · October 04, 2009, 08:46:17 pm

You loved it.

nik at work · October 04, 2009, 08:54:23 pm

I wouldn't have missed that party for anything, 'twas ace.

Adam Lincoln · October 07, 2009, 09:50:05 am

Forecast on Metcheck till next Thursday is mostly dry apart from a little rain late this afternoon. That should give us a few more weeks at Kilnsey hopefully!

Is Dominatrix still dry, Adam?

Annnnnd, is Cave Route RH still dry, does anyone know, aaaand, is it now a clip up, and if so, what grade is it?

Bonjoy · October 08, 2009, 10:37:59 am

You still have to bring runners. A couple of extra bolts were added to the first half a few years ago, these were hammered flat but have been threaded with tat and can still be clipped. E6 6b/7b+ apparently

grimer · October 08, 2009, 10:40:05 am

Thank you JB.

Is the runners thing a pain in the ass?

flyguy · October 08, 2009, 11:41:02 am

my friend climbed dominatrix on monday evening and all was dry then.

Adam Lincoln · October 08, 2009, 12:08:28 pm

Kilnsey all pretty mint according to a friend there yesterday. (Wednesday)

nik at work · October 08, 2009, 05:12:41 pm

Kilnsey is very dry, the undercuts on GA still look a bit damp (but probably still climbable Andy) but everything else seemed dry to my quick crag scan. Even the start of Dalliance was almost completely dry.
Grit or Lime this weekend? You decide...

Andy F · October 08, 2009, 07:43:49 pm

Cheers Nik and adam. Hope to be there on Sunday, so a nupdate on Sat evening would be nice

nik at work · October 08, 2009, 08:01:41 pm

I'm planning on heading there Saturday so will post in the evening, but I think it'll be all systems go.
