Went today and it was certainly climable there - not sure of the specific problems/holds in any detail but we got a bit done and there seemed to be a strong team keeping busy further along.

A few bits of seepage low down and a few damp holds here and there, but OK.  The headwall above the top break was starting to get a streaks running down it from the top.

First time there, top spot!.

Alright Dan, I went on Sunday and it was seeping pretty badly and generally shit. Still compared to Woodwell which had a stream flowing from beneath Tom's Roof, that was pretty good...

I also went Sunday and thought it was OK. Too wet for the traverse (for me anyway!), but dry enough for a good session. Depends what you're after doing.

Pretty dry tonight, a few wet foot holds. No wind but mercifully few midges.

Dry, including the top break. Couple of wet holds under Bend in the Rainbow, so some of the up problems there might be tricky. Shame it's going to rain all week...

Not anymore there not, started to seep when I was there and now Fertile Delta is sopping.

Would it be ridiculously optomistic to head there this evening?

Shite conditions tonight - quite a bit of seepage about, and a lot of damp or greasy holds.
Humid and midgey as well.

Just heard via the magic of FaceBook that it's wet this morning, I suspect it's sitting in mist overnight with the current high humidity.

All major lines dry today including the traverse, video to follow with a bit of failure on the middle bit to. Also I regret to inform everyone the ladder is now deceased, it was looking worse for wear last week with only one rail left but it broke under the strain of my 70kg body and snapped :'(. Can still be used with one of the bits though!

Arran was there Monday. I'm sure he'll pop up to provide a better report, but sounded fine. Bit wet in top break still. If you do go and top break has dried, could you post up here?
