Full Circle - V9ish (7c+) - This links Gaz's traverse into the end of Bend Of The Rainbow, then reverses Bend to the starting jug of Gaz's traverse.
Bend Of The Rainbow Free - V8+ish (Fr7c ish) - Pot Of Gold Start into BOTR

does "ish" mean add a grade?  :lol:

No it was me as well, and you forgot to mention hot, still and humid.
Lovatt and Probes turned up as I was leaving, it'd be interesting to know if conditions improved any.

Mick made a sterling effort to get past the wobble block on the traverse, i only just made the wobble block, felt sick and dizzy so made the sensible decision.. run away.

It's rained a fair bit for 4 days, so I would expect some.  Not having been I can't be definitive, but I'll drop in if I'm passing.

Incredibly good conditions last night, and suprisingly dry after all the rain apart from small section of the top break.

Went down on Thursday, most of the routes were dry, except a few areas of seepage as usual.  If it doesnt rain again it could be good for next week.

Strong Sam of Kaizen fame did a new problem recently. Direct on The Priory, which will probably end up at V11/12. Effort.

Not bad this morning, some of the usual seeps like at Bend.
Then the heavens opened at 11:30.   :thumbsdown:

Anyone been down in the past couple of days?  Hoping for an evening session today.  I'm guessing it probably in pretty good nick.

You should be OK.  Not been for a bit, but considering recent weather you should get some stuff done.

Great conditions earlier this week but there has been some heavy rain since then.  Should be ok if it stays dry and breezy for the rest of today and tomorrow.  I'm hoping to get a session there on Sun as well.
