At Malham today I met someone who was at Kilnsey yesterday.  They said Kilnsey was surprisingly dry and less seepy  than Malham (they'd been working Subculture if that gives any clues to the state of North Buttress).

[Teaboy]

I thought everyone at the crag agreed to keep shtum about the dryness! Oh well, I'm away for a week anyway. Most things dry, deep pockets smeggy, Urgent Action, Full Tilt and the Thumb wet.

Kilnsey has some dry routes  I'll try not to tell anyone else 

[Paul B]

Some dry routes, some wet holds and some wet routes today (and horribly hot/humid throughout). However things did dry as the day went on.

No change since Saturday. Lots of wet bits and some parts getting wetter!http://ukbouldering.com/board/Smileys/ukbCustom/wall.gif

[Paul B]

Has anyone been (specifically in the evening)? I'll be passing through tomorrow after 5 and wondered if it was worth nipping in or will I be eaten whole by the midge?

[Serpico]

Midge free on Tuesday evening even though it was quite still, I think it was too cold for them.

[Nike Air]

I was there till well after dark on tues evening and it was fine, the easterly wind kept them in bed.
Wind tommorrow will be up from the south all day so the crag should be getting a good breeze, at least on the south end.
Enjoy

Thanks, I'm just being wary as a rest today, followed by a failed day then a family weekend isn't ideal. I guess we'll chance it.

[Nike Air]

Malham I hope will be getting more of the wind than Kilnsey tomorrow and when i ve been I ve found it pretty good nick in the shade there at the moment.....
Something to think about

[Andy F]

Most stuff from Biological leftwards dry, stuff rightwards inc N.Butress has wet bits where it mattered.

Lapin?

[JohnM]

Didn't look specifically at Lapin but I think that was probably dry.  Most stuff right of N.Buttress was pretty dry.

Driving past it looked like there was some wetness around GA but Lapin may well escape that as it's pretty resistant to seepage.

I would suggest that if the wind is from the west and light then avoid it, otherwise its worth the risk.

You can check the current situation on the Kilnsey weather station: http://www.mylocalweather.org.uk/upperwharfedale/

Any updates from today would be much appreciated, there was torrential rain in my part of Yorkshire over night and wondering if it had / is now having any impact on Kilnsey?

Thanks.

[Andy F]

Shouldn't be too bad as it was pretty dry. Which route were you thinking of doing?

[JK]

Thinking of the left hand end, Hardy Annual & Metal Guru.  I know these would normally be OK at the moment, but the ammont of rain that fell at my house last night got me a little concerned!

[Andy F]

Metal Guru was dry yesterday and should still be fine.

[DDDD]

Any update on North Butress conditions - specifically Dominatrix?

[Steve Crowe]

 Almost everything is dry now. Full Tilt and Urgent Action still have some dampness.

[Andy F]

Still dry today and surprisingly midge free.

[Stabbsy]

Midges arrived at about 6ish at the left hand end, when the breeze died down. Absolutely dumped it down with rain at about the same time - the road from Grassington to Pateley Bridge was more like a river in places. Hopefully won't have too much of an effect on the crag though.

wassit like at the moment anyone?
