I'll give it a blast since I'll just walk into Otley to see a pal if it's in poor nick. Enjoy thr Cliffe Tom and what looks to be a pleasant day.

Parts of Caley were in excellent nick today, others a little damp and hence unclimbable. I think rain is forecast tomorrow afternoon so this is largely academic.

I spent a little while picking up strands of tape, flapjack wrappers, drinks cartons etc. Many of these items were around Bens Groove, Zoo York etc. Though there seems little point in ranting to the fucking douche bags that would leave their detritus strewn about the place, here is a rant  - TAKE YOUR SHITE HOME!!

It must have been thrice as baltic at Caley since I was sat looking at you in full sun! Nice to get a window of (largely) dry Caley anyway.

Anyone know if Caley is doing ok right now? Would like to head up to Block Buster tomorrow morning before more rain comes!
Cheers

Thanks for the info. Ah, why must it dry so slowly :( Might still head up anyway and be optimistic. Last time I did that though I had to get straight back on the bus as it was all soaked haha.

Just get one of those £3.80 a day saver tickets you can get then stay on to Illkley as Iesu says.

These boys have always had the right idea with the day saver.

Did HSBC get busted for doing business with these boys too?


Don't be optimistic. It'll be terrible.

Ginger Joe in the corner is the coolest. He's probably a silent killer.

Apparently Caley was climbable today, I'm not sure I'll ever understand when that crag is and isn't in condition...

True that - the Chevin is in a cloud and it's raining, anyone with Saturday Caley plans should rethink!

Weather's looking better for Harrogate area than for Otley/Ilkley area... There's a good chance things might dry off at the more exposed bits of Brimham!

It's a tough call. It looks like the forecast rainfall for midday might just clip the Cliff, but there's a half-decent breeze blowing past so it'll dry pretty quick. Nidderdale's equivalent to the Cliff will hopefully be dry!

Anyone been near Caley crag today and know if it was Climbable. Thinking of chancing my arm on the Horn tomorrow as part of longstanding war of attrition.

Pretty damp today. Can't recommend it tomorrow as it's still and humid here.
