I think the fog is meant to lift by the weekend, but then it's meant to get colder, so I wouldn't but money on any of the north facing crags drying out.  Looks like Saturday should bring great conditions at quick drying places though.

yeah, I can't see ben's groove improving much with just cold weather ahead. A shame, I was getting close(er). Probably end up back at Almscliff this weekend, though a friend went yesterday and said the place was pretty soaked.

How are ilkley and rocky valley in terms of drying? Good chance of pristine grip on sat? Keen for there and caley maybe.

The moor is still completely shrouded in cloud.  Rocky Valley stuff should dry quite quickly with the exception of Sweet Dream I think.  Calf should dry quickly if the cloud lifts.  Don't hold your breath for Caley unless you want to climb wet vdiffs with socks over your shoes...

What he said. It's looking like damp / wet between now and the weekend so unless something seriously changes I'm assuming The Cliff and potentially Brimham would be your best bet.

It was dry yesterday and today, good breeze today, I think some stuff will be climbable but not sure everything will.

Looked at it (EFT)the other night but went with dogs. This is not a dog friendly venue just in case anyone takes a hound. It's a talus field covered in heather. Go careful.

No worries Stevie. Roads and walls bone dry this morning. Evidence of sleet on cars and roof tops. Mint.

Early bird catches the worm. Mint this morning as predicted. Heavy(ish) rain shower at 11. Bright blue skies again now. Same at Brimham at 10.30

It rained in the early hours here on Saturday morning so It was wet there this morning. It's worth a punt tomorrow although everything's freezing now so be prepared to abort to Brimham.

Caley was cold and dry on Sunday, best condition I've seen it the past few months this Autumn. Plenty of people out and stuff getting done at roadside and crag.

Spitting a bit this afternoon in Leeds but if anyone has a session tomorrow, I'd be grateful for feedback as keen for Wednesday day. Got a feeling a light rain shower might come to stop play but can only try.

I scoped out Caley road side today at about 2-3pm. Not a square inch of dry rock. The pocket on blockbuster was soaked and zoo york was dripping water off the top. Ju ju club and Ben's groove were wetter than a slip n slide. Even the playground area was wet.  :(

Please please a consistent cold spell!

Tom, I'll keep in touch via pm as if I recall correctly, you manage to get a few midweek outdoor sessions in?

It rained last night and on and off in the afternoon. Can't see it being dry this week due to rain and rubbish wind directions/velocities.

Sure, forecast looks good but windy (nw brr...) bits of Calog might be ok with that breeze.. Depends what you're interested in.. Someone here'll know what dries fastest.  I'll be over the way at almscliff, shivering under the keel from 1ish (Or up by DWR where there should be some shelter...)
