anyone know what it'll be like in the pass today?
-
Did you get out saltbeef? Imagine it was gopping if so!?
-
twas tres chaud to be sure. my back is exceptionally burned! was relatively ok when there was a breeze. (there wasn't much of a breeze) everything dry that we tried. good times
-
The Pass was proper mint all weekend. Had the whole Wavelength hillside to ourselves which I found pretty astounding considering the weather...
-
What's it like at the moment after this weeks bad weather? Going for the weekend and camping in the Pass. What about surrounding areas? Anyone been this week?
-
Should be fine
Was there Fri - Tue. Everything is drying out super quick in this weather. Even after the torrential downpour on Sat night there was plenty to go at by Sun afternoon.
Light rain forecast for Sun though (http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/wl/betws-y-coed_forecast_weather.html)
-
Excellent! Cheers.
-
Hmm cheers Gruff.
Judging by that I'll have to try and make the most of this afternoon, if it's dried up, and tomorrow. Maybe head back early Sunday for a climb somewhere else!
-
How has it been around the pass recently?
Pembroke has turned into a bit of a washout and I was thinking of maybe sacking it up to North Wales. Not really that psyched to trade one washout for another.
-
Was down at the weekend, ended up on Wastad. The mot was dry on the main buttress and the cromlech was drying by the end of sun. Stuff to do for sure. Effin busy tho with tourists!
-
anyone got any 411 for the weekend? will it be A-ok or is it the 187?
-
Any more ganster shite and you will be due a puntering.
-
could i get away with putting "word"?
-
finger is hovering...... :)

Have you tried the metoffice? ;)
Are you down all weekend by the way? What are your plans? Msg me on facebook if you get down there, I may be out that way on Sunday, although it may end up being the cave (although obviously the mountains is preferable).
-
Snow wise its fine most things are clear, it was raining in llanberis when i left for work this morning, looks like steady miserable wet shit for a day or two at a guess. If you want a report in the morning 10 will be the earliest i go near interweb.
-
Cheers noddyholder. And yes Ben, I tried metoffice but it doesn't have a "boulder conditions" prediction :P I'll give you a shout when I know our plans.
-
ming.
-
thought as much, so we stayed away. cheers.
-
I'm thinking of heading to Wavelength tomorrow, anyone know if it'll be dry? Thanks
-
This is probably too late, but I reckon it'll be fine. There was some rain yesterday, but prior to that it had been very dry.
-
i take it that the pass and ogwen are piss wet today?? really want to get out somewhere in north wales today

Sunny and dry up the Pass yesterday. I heard it was raining on the Ormes - bizarre!

Well he knows what your into.
-
anyone had chance to look at the pass today? imagine it will be wet but you never know....
-
how fast to dry is Clogwyn Y tarw (Ogwen Valley) ? and also is moving between the blocks quite rocky? thinking of there tomorrow and will have a dog with me who has a poorly toe so doesnt like scrambling over rocks. cheers
-
well the pass the well mint today init. Only met one other boulderer all day long up wavelength area. where is everyone?!?
-
today was mega great conditions!
-
anyone fancy going to crafnant bouldering tomorrow? could do with some extra pads and beta e.t.c, weather looks good too!
-

Planned to head to Wavelength on Monday, but was put off by the bank holiday hoards. Didn't fancy the walk in from the far side of Llanberis (full car parks), and/or trying to fit pads onto the rammed Sherpa buses. Seems lesson of the weekend was to stay clear of the pass when its that busy!! Still, had fun messing around on the RAC boulders instead.

Good hey wasn't it, like having the mountain to yourself ;D
Assume you were the chap with the dog.
-
hiya, yeah that was me, did you have a good day?
very nice to have it to yourself, only heard a few shouts of "safe" e.t.c from across the pass too :)
-
yeah i did ta, got a couple of things done id not tried before. how did you get on... lordy lordy you were trying wasnt it?
-
Does anyone know how fast Foil dries after rain? Any seepage? If it's dry Sunday I might pop across to meet some mates but don't want to waste a trip if rain from the day before is going to mean it's still wet.
Cheers
-
could anyone recomend me somewhere cool to go tomorrow? lots of V6's, not roadside, not the pass and other usual venues.
otherwise its the sheep pen
-
Bring a coat even the cave is soaked..
-
meant to be alright tomorrow.... its summer after all :tumble:
-
had a pretty cool afternoon at Standing Loon Only area:
http://www.northwalesbouldering.com/newsitem.asp?nsid=54 (http://www.northwalesbouldering.com/newsitem.asp?nsid=54)
well worth a trip up, a very good boulder nearby too,
http://www.northwalesbouldering.com/newsitem.asp?nsid=183 (http://www.northwalesbouldering.com/newsitem.asp?nsid=183)
rock is very similair to that of the Roaches Skyline ;D
Pack your wellies though, not because of clunge but the walk in is abit of a bog.
-
Any locals know if cligwyn bustach will be dry tomorrow? Imagine it will be?
-
Forecast is too good for there, anyone keen for crafnant?
-
:badidea:

Not too sure bout that, needs a dry spell that place
-
Cheers doylo, was dry today but geuss it needs some sunshine. Crafnant then!
-
Gritlad, just a headsup as I don't know if you've been before?
I don't know what the weather has been doing in the Crafnant valley the last few days but be prepared for a slippy time if there has been rain in the boulder field. A friend and I had to wade through the marshy/rocky terrain last time after rain. At the risk of sounding like your mother, perhaps take some stout walking shoes (Penguin bar, apple sandwiches etc etc).
-
Ahaa cheers, will pack my walking shoes and a waterproof just in case ;)
Been dry today and yesterday so hopefully be ok, might be some slippery frost around though.
-
Craftnant needs a few dry days but sounds like we've had it. You need wellies for the Welsh hills. I always keep them in the boot and then think 'it will be alright'. Always regret it...
-
Enjoy. I absolutely love it up there and can't wait to get back.
-
Crafnant was good today, thanks for the advice. walk in fairly dry, fine in approach shoes and boulders were all dry if a little dirty on a few. Weather looks amazing for tomorrow!
Whats the thoughts on the grade of Cruella, 7B?
-
Hard 7b or easy 7b+, jury still out. Pass was cold!!
-
Looking to head up to Wavelength and the Barrel tomorrow.
Anyone know how things are looking in the pass, dry at the moment?
Forecast looks good... Are the landings generally boggy this time of year?
Cheers
-
How's it looking? Forecast looks great.
-
Cold and dry for ages. Bogs are frozen too, so easy to move around the upper Wavelength areas.
-
Thanks Simon.
-
Any idea what the conditions might be like on Sunday? The forecast for Llanberis says 3 degrees/sunny so tempted to head down.
Cheers!

Before you punter me I'm half Welsh so I consider that gives me the right to post it :)
-
Nice work Dolly, but that's clearly from South Wales - a different country as far as I'm concerned! ;)
Forecast for Sunday is proper baltic and windy too - I reckon it'll be dry but you'll probably freeze yer nuts off in the Pass.
Go to a coastal crag instead.
-
Anyone know if The Pass is dry today? Was thinking of having a lamplight session at the Cromlech after work.
Cheers
-
Again as above. Going to head over this eve. Anyone know if it's dry/good conditions?
Cheers
-
Surprisingly damp actually. I was going out in Bethesda this afternoon but changed my mind when I realised how much this morning's frost had hung around as dampness. Forecast was completely wrong - promised sunshine never materialised.

Cheers Si, didn't catch your update in time unfortunately. Went and did Jerry's Wall (Which was excellent). Conditions were bizarre... Rock was dry but the holds would condense/go a bit damp as you were using them!
-
Thinking of heading up tomorrow. Has it been raining there today?
Weather app seems split between dryness and thunderstorms for tomorrow...

Isn't that known as sweating? :???:
-
Got a few hours free in N Wales on Saturday and keen for some stuff in the Pass. What would things like Grooves boulder, Upper Satellites or Barrel be like in this heatwave? Should I plan on going somewhere else?
Thanks :)
-
I reckon they'd be sound. Parking is always the main issue...
