Both of those (and the project in between) were dry enough to work. Some damp spots on N.Buttress but everything else looked fine. Bollocks, the cat's out of the bag now   

[Tim Broughtonshaw]

Mostly wet with the odd dry patch. Or is that the other way round 

At last - a worthwhile conditions report, the crag looked busy on Saturday as I drove past - I might even have seen a Dunne. I noticed ropes on GA and Dalliance - how are they looking Andy?

Aye you did indeed see a Dunne. Urgent action still had some wetness in the pockets. The ashes was dry im guessing as it got two ascents.

      lots of dead rabbit's beneath the crag on arrival.  By lots i'm talking upwards of 20. Spent some time scooping them up with stones and flicking them down the hill as they were really rank.  Bit wierd really, none of the carcasses looked killed by predators or gunshot. Reckon disease or related to exceptionally cold winter. Couple of dead birds of prey also. 



Cheers

Pretty bone today. Few moist pockets on Dalliance, and around that area. Full Tilt had a clean, most popular stuff has chalk on it.

Does it normally take a few days for any rain to come through at Kilnsey? Not a regular so don't know the score.. wondering about if a bit of rain yesterday/today/over the weekend is likely to leave it wet?

I'm keen for this beta as well, I'll be up on Sunday seepage permitting. I need to check whether the easier stuff is dry for the other half as well, open road etc.

[uptown]

What routes do you fellas want seepage beta on?
Open road will be fine.

Was Ecstasy dry Andy? Particularly around the belay of Nerve Ending and the start of the bulge?

[uptown]

As of yesterday yes, and it's not rained too much today, but you know how these things are sooooo fickle.

[Andy F]

Has the seepage started yet?

[Adam Lincoln]

Nothing yesterday, apart from a waterfall down Deidre. Would suspect a bit will come through for the weekend.

[Tim Broughtonshaw]

Will report back this evening. Anything in particular you want checking?

[Tim Broughtonshaw]

Guess mostly a general feel as to how fuked Kilnsey is.  But specifically Softoption, urgent action, pantomime.

Unless Paul's referring to a source other than here or UKC I think he's mistaken.

T'was overheard and relayed to him at The Foundry, so veracity can not be confirmed, but if someone thinks its funny to post false condition reports then they are a  in my eyes.

Confused by Paul's tweeting. Must be news of another channel. I'm sure Adam/Serpico's update was on the money, and my update from reading a facebook posting I'm sure it is accurate.

p.s. so Serpico, are you or Adam going today?  was wondering if there is underlying seepage which needs a few hours to dry back each day?
