I hope to go on thursday. Is this foolhardy? Cheers!

This will likely be of no help, but it was dry on Sunday. Minor seepage that didn't get any worse during the day and the sun was burning off any surface water that had run down from the top. It's been showery since but possibly not enough to result in much more seepage by Thursday. I guess the main threat is if the strong winds continue and a shower sprays the crag shortly beforehand.

Crag was surprisingly dry on Sunday in case anyone's interested. Odd bits of wet in the usual places (high break and under the not very wobbly block) but generally avoidable. Conditions got better through the day with a bit of sun drying up the grease. Hopefully back next weekend, so I'd be interested to know how it's holding out if anyone gets there in the week.

Was that you training upstairs at the Leeds Wall this evening or am I putting two and two together and getting forty-two?

Probably comes as no surprise but absolutely bone dry yesterday

Thinking of a day trip on Wednesday, what are the chances of dry forecast is showery most days till then. Does she have a lot of seepage, the submarine bit especially.

As long as the wind and rain has not been blowing on to the crag the night before... east/n or s easterly, it should be pretty much an ok. Seems to be holding bugger all seepage anymore. The normal state of play.. Might find top break will be wet/damp, which will be exciting toping big marine, and a few random seeps on some sitters, which can ususally be coped with. Sub & supersub should be ok.

nodder · November 28, 2011, 04:34:21 pm

Cheers very big,
West and west south westerly so should be good. Positive thoughts, thats what I'm thinking.

I'm presuming wet currently, but I've been surprised by her before. Anybody been recently?

Adam Lincoln · December 12, 2011, 01:11:32 pm

Roads a little damp in P-town, but drying fast. Cloudy over Longridge direction. Breezy and cold.

nodder · December 15, 2011, 04:52:20 pm

Thinking of a visit saturday (again not been yet) Anyone local with input tommorow would be gratefully recived!

Serpico · December 15, 2011, 08:57:49 pm

Almost certainly fucked given the amount of rain we've had today/recently/forecast.

Stabbsy · January 12, 2012, 12:39:45 pm

Anyone been lately? Was thinking about making a trip over on Sunday.

clm · January 14, 2012, 06:00:50 pm

Very frustrating today. Pretty dry with minor seeps but disgustingly greasy. Hands dragging and blowing off holds. Big marine just sketchable and then thwarted by a sopping jug.
Incidentally, I filled a carrier bag with litter from beneath the crag today.

ShortRound · January 28, 2012, 06:35:22 pm

Has anyone been up today? I'm guessing it'd be a bit seepy but would be grateful for some first-hand knowledge.

Many thanks.

Stabbsy · February 01, 2012, 01:35:14 pm

Just in case there's anyone rushing to visit this week, I went Sunday and it was soaked. Odd things at the left hand side should dry fairly quickly, but the rest looked like it needed a week or so to make it worthwhile. Would be interested if anyone has any updates before the weekend.

Adam Lincoln · February 06, 2012, 01:41:12 pm

Decent up to date topo now been done by Greg at Lakesbloc. Good job Greg. Tricky task!

Always worth a punt. Was okay thursday last week. Wet bits but still stuff to do. Didn't get much snow here, so with todays sun, maybe ok.

Stabbsy · February 24, 2012, 03:41:09 pm

Anyone been this week? Is it likely to be dry enough tomorrow?

Stabbsy · February 25, 2012, 06:19:48 pm

Wetter than I'd expected, but still climbable - just a bit cold and wet ground makes it awkward to keep feet clean if you're traversing. Damp crimps on Tarot Plane, but low traverse on same section is OK. All the traverses heading rightwards from there are dry enough until the wet holds on crux of Mr Skin, but low variation is fine. Wet break on Big Marine area, but it still got done after drying.

Stabbsy · March 15, 2012, 08:34:03 pm

Dropped in on the way past today, but didn't climb. Bit damp in places, but generally OK. Bit wet in the high break left of the (formerly) wobbly block. The ground is also a lot drier than it has been lately. If anyone's down over the next two days, can you let me know if it's still dry as I'm in the area on Sunday.

AdamD · March 18, 2012, 09:56:43 am

Does anyone know if it's dry?

Serpico · March 18, 2012, 10:06:33 am

Neil, if you get there before 12 today can you drop me a txt if it's dry?
Ta muchly.

Stabbsy · March 18, 2012, 11:18:33 am

Pretty much dry, bit damp on ground. Odd wet bits but dry enough for a full session.
