Cheers for the advice. I did have a good session from 9-1pm. Everything I wanted to try/do was dry. The word sticky damp did get mentioned by a regular who was there, although I don`t think it was quite the mythical state. He said it was 7/10. I guess sticky damp is 10/10. Good cold conditions i felt. There was a slight drissle , but also a slight breeze.
I am definitely a limestone bouldering /Ravens Tor convert.
