I may head there on Monday, if that's any use.  Will be half hearterdly childminding too, usually a fab combo.

I can't think of many times I've risked it and not been able to climb.  Maybe once or twice ever.

I went to every part of Woodwell on Saturday...

Pretty much all dry today, every problem we did or tried at all areas of Woodwell was climbable. A few heavy showers made no difference and the area had clearly had heavy rain lately, but again no seepage.

And then it's rained constantly since.

Looks a nice day today, so may take a Blob up there on the offchance.  Will post if I do.

Fair enough, its just the Liverpool riviera that's avoided too much rain then.

Raining whilst I stand here at Tom's.

Seepage from the low breaks. 
BOBN starting holds and edge seepage. 
Closer start and roof undercuts dripping.
AOSD start dripping.
What's this for seeping.
Kaizen roof seepage/ dripping from cracks.
Slave starting holds and edges wet.
Right end seeping.

Not Bad Dave undercuts dripping.
Griddle Groove and Tree Root both seeping.


Considering it's still raining, I think it will need a few dry days to settle.

The Wolf House Gallery cafe. Just on the corner between parking for WoR and the track down to Woodwell parking.
Sadly the cream they use isn't clotted, and on one occassion was severly over-whipped. And last time I went they'd sold out of scones, shocker.

It's rained up until today, so I'd put money on "shit".

It was climbable on Saturday btw.  A bit damp in the usual places but not too problematic.  Sunday was a dry day so it may still be climbable despite this overnight rain.

It was bone dry last week, but the past 48 hours have been shit.  Can't be sure but I'd guess it'll be OK.

That's Nik and his duff sequences for you.  It's a matter of pain tolerance!!  (unless you were referring to Crushinator?).

would like to do the sds to the crushinator but I'm way too short to reach without stacking lots of pads.

You can start as for Super Star DJ TinPot Todd at the back, prob 7c.  Or sit on 2 pads, the hard move is still getting the high RH edge.
