Asside from muddy feet and maybe a bit of run off then it will be fine. Plenty to do so long as your not set on one route.  The same is true for the other crags too.

In wet weather then approach from topley pike is much less muddy...

Hi there,
How is the cornice looking for the next few days? Will be going down from Glasgow and hoping the conditions will be good .
Cheers
Mike.

The top of the routes between War Memorial and Whose line were getting wet in the rain the other night. Its absolutely tipped it down today and the weather isn't great either... I think runoff from the top might have become a much bigger problem since then but probably won't be affecting the steeper sections. Other people can probably offer a better opinion.

[Falling Down]

I was at the Embankment this evening and it was dry until the heavens opened at 20:15.

[Bonjoy]

The walk in will be a mudbath and the top bit of some of the easier routes might be wet if it is raining persistently or has rained heavily in the past few hours, but in the main it's safe bet that most routes will be dry. Six months of drying doesn't get undone by two days of patchy rain.

[Paul B]

If people are popping in on thur night (Mr Sloe) then I'd be V.grateful of a conditions report as I hope to pop in on Fri morning.

[mark]

Anyone going tomorrow (Friday)? I'm free from 9 till about 2.

Anyone going tomorrow (Friday)? I'm free from 9 till about 2.

I think I'll be there mark, probs not till 10.30 - 11.

Conditions fine as of this evening on everything.

[T_B]

Bl*ody ell Paul, can't get enough of it. I reckon it'll be seeping through next week at this rate. The clock ticks for those with projects

Woke up sore so I'm probably being a bit too enthusiastic.

[205Chris]

Still dry today and plenty of people out.

[clgladiator]

im guessing its still dry down at the cornice but thought i'd double check, particularly interested in whether there's any run-off on cosmo. and cordless madness. 

[Ethan]

They were both dry as of yesterday, and everything else down there.

[The Sausage]

Was down today - everything feeling pretty damp, but more from hyper-humidity than seepage. Unleashing and cordless pretty damp looking at the top. That was the river damp at the start. Stuff down by monumental gopping (condensation). Walk in from wormhill: totally miserable!

There was no breeze to speak of, although it was marginally better early afternoon, and there was a red-point of powerplant. Should be better if the humidity drops and breeze picks up.

Was more of a glissade when I tried it yesterday evening but I made it alive so musn't grumble.

Conditions got worse if anything and everyone except us sacked it off before dark.

Walk in from wormhill: totally miserable!

Probably worth wearing walkingboots / wellies and taking a stick, either that or a sledge

And to think you could have had equally wank nick without the long walk-in at the Tor. Its the thinking man's crag for bad conditions.

Fixed that for you

[shark]

You can walk in from Wormhill and avoid the worst of the mud - in fact it was the original way I used before the cut thru following the stream was really used.

Instead of turning sharp right thru the trees and down the bank carry on down the field slightly up then back down looking for a walkers gate after 100-150 yards. This will take you back right across/down the hill along a (now) overgrown and narrow path and connect back to the main path about 50 yards before you would normally connect with it.

That's probably as clear as errr mud. 

[nai]

Quite nice down there today, especialy when the wind got up a bit, most stuff looked to have dried out although there was a bit of gloop around on the less travelled stuff we tried (That was the river and at the top of Unleashing).

Walk in still awful of course, boots and a stick certainly help and maybe spare/over trousers for when you do end up on your arse.

[Mike Lee]

The approach mud... Had a good week here, despite terrible conditions on our last day. Would be an excellent crag to have nearby, jealous!

[Paul B]

To be fair the walk in/out was quite different from ~10am - ~3pm.

It seemd to me that anything relatively clean was unaffected (apart from the top of some routes which catch drainage). Anything less than spotless was clinging onto moisture and making things feel far from ideal. Undercutting anything left you at severe risk of punching yourself in the face.

(This place does have some cracking routes!)

[Falling Down]

At t'other end o'dale. Max's was weeping in the central area in several points.  The Embankment was mostly dry but felt damp around the main break and the tops were a bit smeggy.  Two Tier was all very dry.  Conditions not great with high humidity.

[kingholmesy]

Anyone been to the Cornice recently and able to provide an update as to whether many of the easier routes are clean/dry? I'm particularly interested in Clarion Call.

Ta. Luke.

[shark]

Not been since sunday but I can guarantee it will be dry. Take your wellies.
