drove by today for a gander after work,
Crag smelt wierd and the rock was very cool. Plenty of birds around and it looked like watercress was growing in the muddy dust!!?

hard dry stuff- things like metal mickey, indian summer(maybe one damp hold), northern exposure , progress and also soft  option could be possible, maybe...
easier stuff- man with a gun, sticky wicket, 50-4-5, comedy, pantomine, rubble, those routes right of bulge, maybe frankie.
Hope this helps.

Has any one been past recently? I was hoping to have a play on Comedy on the way by this weekend. Looks like there's lots of rain forecast before then though.  Ta

Drove past yesterday. Looked fucked. Even most of the routes that Jordan reported as dry a few weeks ago were wet. My guess is you've got two chances for this weekend. Jack and Shit.

And jack's left town.

Thanks Adam, that's a really useful response.

Cheers Webbo for a more constructive answer!  Is Malham any more likely?

With a forecasted 10C and 100% cloud cover, with wind from the south, I'd hazard a guess that both Malham and Kilnsey are a no-go this weekend. Unless you have the cold loving attributes of a Walrus that is...

Ok, sorry. Not a chance with either, as Andy has now pointed out.

even I wasn't remotely considering Malham .... let alone Kilnsey! Frankly, it looks a bit cold for the leeds wall to be honest.

It takes quite a bit of seepage so doubt it will be fully dry at the top.

What about the majority of Ecstacy after the lower break?  Would it be worth a working session on the upper part or is it really wet?
