Was there yesterday but didn't look as far as North Buttress sorry.

Bulge/Ecstasy was starting to get damp and seep again

TobyD · June 09, 2011, 11:16:30 pm

TN and UA damp in bits, but not disastrously so. TN got an ascent today: so it can't have been that bad. $:-\$

Everything pretty much dry yesterday including North Buttress - Urgent Action totally dry.

Can anyone tell me if the Mandela roof is dry at the mo?
thx

Charlton Chestwig · June 23, 2011, 09:17:43 am

I'd be interested to know what state Fult Tilt is in too if anyone knows?

Many thanks for any info.

highrepute · June 24, 2011, 10:17:22 am

both dry yesterday. no drips coming down from mandela anyway, don't know if that means it was dry?

how is that malham is soaking and kilnsey is dry?

JohnM · June 24, 2011, 10:49:03 am

Mandela looks to be dry but I haven't been up there this year. It might need a good scrub as don't think anyone has been up there this year. I keen to get it finished off so will go up there and have a look after i've finished Ecstasy!

Full Tilt wet at the bottom, damp in the break/undercuts by the 3rd bolt and wet on the block you stand on for the knee bar. In spite of that all the moves were do-able if you've got the gas to dry your hands in between.
The rest of the crag looked OK, but it was crap conditions and midgey as fook.
Pissed down as we left.

How much rain today? The forecast for a heatwave in manchester was utter bollox. a fair amount of rain last night and up till about 12 today. Apparently cornice is gopping

TobyD · June 25, 2011, 11:26:00 pm

rained quite a bit in Dales today. reports of high humidity and quite a bit of seepage of kilnsey; i was at the other place .... which was probably worse, though probably temporarily.

Davo · June 26, 2011, 07:39:16 am

Not good yesterday, North Buttress wet, Bulge/Ecstasy was seeping and had condensation from humidity. Rest was mostly okay.

robertostallioni · June 26, 2011, 09:41:13 pm

Virtually everything left of (and most of North buttress) dry but greasy. Yew Cogar on the other hand was as black as my heart.

Black as the ace of spades then!

Davo · July 02, 2011, 10:20:17 am

Mostly dry now (just start of Full Tilt wet). However extremely midgy!

dunnyg · July 07, 2011, 04:02:35 pm

likely to be climbable on friday?

Ally Smith · July 08, 2011, 05:11:01 pm

Anyone been today? It's probably optimistic, but is UA looking dry?

TobyD · July 09, 2011, 12:22:53 am

not hopeful. Damp and getting damper on thursday. UA, that is.

Tim Broughtonshaw · July 09, 2011, 04:22:37 pm

hows grooved arete area?

Charlton Chestwig · July 09, 2011, 09:27:57 pm

TobyD · July 11, 2011, 12:06:03 am

Can anyone reveal what state was North Buttress in by end of Sunday?

Davo · July 11, 2011, 10:13:31 pm

Bottom of Full Tilt/true North a bit wet today. Urgent Action dry apart from little bit of seepage by third bolt when you move left (pock was wet).

Charlton Chestwig · July 14, 2011, 09:19:59 am

Hi,
If anyone's been up in that last few days i'd be interested to know if Full tilt is fully dry yet?
Cheers.

TobyD · July 14, 2011, 09:24:09 am

Little wet by bolt 2 still; but essentially all dry.

Charlton Chestwig · July 15, 2011, 08:16:06 pm

Full Tilt nicely dry by the end of today, although the flat holds by the first clip where soaked on arrival as someone had (presumably by mistake) left a rag on them, which was collecting all of the seepage that usually runs past!

The route is currently minus a foothold though

: The small but positive dink which is on the right once you've got to the break by the 3rd clip. It's kind of a minor issue and certainly does not alter the grade; however unless someone does it first (or the piece goes missing) I intend on putting it back on, as it makes the 3rd clip a little safer especially when the break is damp.

17th conditions update

most of the crag is holding out well in the face of the frankly shite weather, although conditions best described as smeggy.

Wet things:
dreamtime (just at the top)
sounded like Indian summer had a slightly seepy hold on it (?)
full tilt / true north, sopping at bottom, visible patches higher up as well.
urgent action - rests wet, and several wet holds (although this didn't stop barry doing it anyway!) i'd be surprised if it was still even vaugely ok today however.
thumb several visible wet undercuts in the mid section, but possibly still sendable if you man up a bit.

otherwise all ok at the moment....
