Has anyone climbed at Chapel Head Scar recently, or can give an educated guess as to what the conditions there are likely to be like after all the rain recently?

Have not been for ages due to all the rain recently.
However it has been dry for a couple of days now so some routes will be climable, maybe with the odd damp hold.
Particulary on the areas around interstellar and war hero.
The routes on great buttress (wargames,dupont etc) will still be wet.
If the weather holds out the crag should be dry enough Monday for a decent session.
Weather is awsome in the lakes this morning.
Hope this helps
cheers

Watch out for the bird ban also, the area is quite sensitve.

Has anyone climbed at Chapel Head Scar recently, what are the conditions like?
what are the conditions likely to be like after this recent rain? And will it be worth the drive over during a dry day this long weekend?
Cheers John

They were really good on the weekend but not sure after the rain this week. I'm hopefully going tomorrow so I will report back!

Cool would be keen for a conditions report after the recent downpours. Are there any cheap/free camping/biviying places near to here that anyone knows about?
cheers

Just been to have a quick look this afternoon. First buttress as you approach the crag seems to be dry from Bleep and Booster leftwards. The rest going rightwards has quite a bit of seepage and none of the routes looked do-able from the bottom. If you're working a route, you may be able to get away with it if it's the upper reaches but some are wet, some aren't. The two routes to the far right were ok and dry.
Here's hoping for a few days of dry weather, but not looking too likely unfortunately. Bah. :thumbsdown:
