Walked past yesterday.

Generally wet with possibilities at the right end. Love amongst the Butterflies right looked mostly dry.

Right side slabs dry, someone was on Powerplant on Saturday, Clarion call area has some wet holds but people were climbing them yesterday. Roof warrior/cry of despair look wet but getting there (CoD looks like it just has the normal big wet undercut)

Get down and take brushes, nows the best time to get some grime off.

Had a report of a rockfall at the cornice recently, blamed on climbers. Has anyone noticed anything? From the above it doesn't sound like much climbing has been going on.

Nice! What time of day do you reckon it'll be bearably cold?

Wind dependent really. I arrived at 5pm yesterday and it was pretty warm initially. 8-9pm was decent and the holds were suffering from condensation slightly approaching 10.

I'd imagine late morning would be ideal?

Totally condensed out last night. A mist had rolled through the tunnel and the air was completely still. A stiff breeze should help rectify things

Cleaned up the top of devinshire arms to do powerpants. Gave big zipper a real good going over and did a few laps of it to get it clean. The hold inbetween the 3rd and 4th is a lot looser than last year but i couldn't take it off but it wobbles like crazy and will come out at some point. Might sika it up if i can be arsed at some point.

Do you mean Big Zipper or War Memorial? Don't remember anything loose on BG yestetrday but the block/resting jug below roof on WM doesn't feel like it'll last long. Good of the new guide to anticipate it's demise and upgrade it in advance.

Haydn where on power plant do you move right to do the Powerpants link, had a quick look yesterday and it looked pretty cool!

It looked like you get the flat hold after the knee bar shenanigans then head up and right on undercuts??

Not prepared to put the work in yourself?

WM was sketchy at the end of last season (something came off then too I think). With respect to BZ is that the captive spike / press before you move up and right? That's been wobbling for a long time, good job Nat got it ticked if it's on the way out!

I partly cleaned Love Amongst the Butterflies last weekend, brush not big enough for a thorough job. Seems brilliant; climbed maybe 50-60% of moves, but pulled off a left hand tooth shaped flake near the top, it landed somewhere in the rubarb/ nettles so couldn't find to glue if crucial. I hope it wasn't crucial...

It landed on path about a meter to the side of us (not in the nettles), hence us looking up at you with the 'holy shit' face. Good luck finding it though.

Another piece of Cornice departed completely without warning today, this was the resting jug just below the overlap on martial music, fortunately Haydn was alert and moved double quick.  Take care out there, folks.
