What's the situation like in the South Lakes? I've got a job interview on tuesday in the Furness area - travelling on monday and hope to stop off for a boulder on the way. Any hope of anything being dry other than Trowbarrow's Red Wall (never been to Warton or Fairy Steps - worth a look?).

Cheers

Still raining, and the outlook ain't great so I wouldn't predict much dryness.

In general Warton and Trowbarrow boulders are the quickest drying.

Woodwell - Most stuff wet, wouldn't bother. Was raining as we left.
Trowbarrow - Again, most stuff getting wet, may dry from tomorrow.

Went down yesterday and most things were dry, the finger crack thing on the ramp was wet and the starting handholds of screaming slave were damp.
But besides that great conditions.

I was also there yesterday, should probably add that Beauty of Being Numb start was damp but climbable. The start of Art of Self Destruction is still dripping. It's getting there though. Bring on post work sessions after the clocks change this weekend.

I was thinking of heading down tomorrow, just wondering if the rain from this morning got that far north?

Rained this morning in lancaster/ kendal. Brightened up this afternoon so i headed up to thorn after work. Great conditions up there. Good friciton etc etc shame my skin wasn't up to the job. I don't suppose that helps you to much!

AdamD · March 26, 2009, 10:37:04 pm

Any idea on conditions for tomorrow?

AdamD · March 28, 2009, 09:01:37 pm

Again, does anyone know if it would be dry tomorrow? $:-\$

AdamD · April 15, 2009, 06:31:36 pm

It was dry today , except the starting holds of AOSD which were soaking.

rothers · April 25, 2009, 06:40:36 pm

when will they ever dry?

jakes · May 08, 2009, 12:29:43 pm

It was dry(ish) a week and a half ago, has anyone been recently?

GCW · May 08, 2009, 12:42:24 pm

No, but it's pissed down for the last week and a half.

Adam Lincoln · June 11, 2009, 09:50:59 pm

As dry as i have ever seen it.

andy_e · June 29, 2009, 10:19:45 pm

any clue for tomorrow?

GCW · June 29, 2009, 10:26:45 pm

I was there on Friday and it was bone dry, so I think it'll be fine.

Although it'll be very hot and greasy I expect.

andy_e · July 24, 2009, 12:23:19 pm

What's the 411? Got unfinished business to finish soon.

GCW · July 24, 2009, 12:24:09 pm

heading up Silverdale way later, I'll see if I can pop in.

andy_e · July 24, 2009, 12:29:22 pm

Climbing or not?

GCW · July 24, 2009, 12:38:56 pm

May have a dabble at Trowbarrow, the old finger isn't up to Woodwell yet.

GCW · July 24, 2009, 05:15:34 pm

Trowbarrow- Red Wall dry, but seriously full of mosquitos. Also, apologies for the blood.
Shelterstone- seepage on Pit Problem, 2 starting holds on Vitruvian (although drying well as I left)

Woodwell- BOBN break a little damp but do-able.
Kaizen Piss wet, AOSD start wet but otherwise OK. Slave LH wet, Slave RH OK but a bit greasy. The RH starting hold (the one most people put a foot on going to the lip) had a puddle in it.

Adam Lincoln · September 23, 2009, 09:00:41 pm

Totally mint.

anyone climbed at woodwell in the last couple of days (26th/27th/28th). Is there any chance of it being dry tomorrow? $:-\$

kippa · April 09, 2010, 08:25:38 am
