Although I've climbed on Kinder edges, north and south, Upper Tor etc and Tintwistle, I've never been to the Chew or anywhere on Bleaklow/further north. (well I walked up to Laddow once but it was wet)
Obviously its raining now and looks like it will for a while but the forecast is better for tomorrow. I know its not prime grit weather, but am planning to head up there with a mate who doesn't climb so much  any more for some serial ticking.
The wind is pretty much a southerly ATM and will only move slightly more westerly I think.
So... what do you reckon will be the fastest drying ?

Any answers/knowledge appreciated

I assume by the list you are referring specifically to Peak moorland grit?

If not, Crookrise, Eastby etc on Barden Moor dry extremely quickly in a southerly /SW/SE wind.

Good point - well I was assuming that, but there's no reason why we couldn't go up to Barden Moor- good idea ta

Get yourself to the Grinah Stones!

But what of Kinder? South likely to be dry after noon after early morning rain? Thanks.

What sort of grades you looking?

Chew is generally all exposed so drys fast:
Standing stones is south facing has some good stuff about VS-E1 but suffers seepage so probs not in today.
Ravenstones north (ish) facing not made it up there but looks fantastic.
Dovestones very exposed and drys fast. Fantastic low grade climbing (up to VS) and a classic E2 in hanging crack
Upperwood quarry South facing  Good stuff E1 and above
Alderman South facing Some good stuff up to VS
Wimberry North facing exposed but green as fuck this year would be grim. All grades have classics
Wimberry boulders generally fast drying Nice problems at every grade. A little spread out but worth the up hill walk.

Just remember the deet

True. If it's bouldering you're after, there's been a fair bit of new stuff added this summer. All info on peakbouldering.info

Cheers for all the replies.
Ended up at Dovestones Tor on Sat which is a fookin massive walk.
On Sunday went to lower Shelf stones which is obscure, green and er open to the elements. Only managed one route before we were rained off.
