Rhoscolyn (fallen block zawn) conditions??
September 18, 2006, 10:50:50 pm
Question for Pantontino or the welsh massive I guess.

Is the above likely to come into condition this year, given summer is rapidly decreasing??

I went one morning in spring, in a period of generally very nice weather, and almost all of it either had slight seepage in the cracks and/or a generally prominent amount of sea damp, and it was unclimbable. Guessed that a summer drying off and a breeze would help, but have I left it too long??

I wouldn't think of it like a seasonal limestone crag. If you get fresh bright weather you could climb there any time. Sure there may be some seepage, but that's what we have aid points for. :whistle:

I'm guessing your spring visit was just unlucky, and even if the same happened again, I'd be surprised if you couldn't find something in climbable nick either at Rhoscolyn or somewhere on the Gogarth cliffs, even in the middle of winter (assuming the sun is shining). I once did The Sind on Yellow Wall with Perrin junior on a beautiful sunny day in February.
