Well if anyone happens to be there this eve....

Ovine buttress dry this afternoon but not great conditions in the trees. Much better up at paint it black which was all dry too as of 6pm when I left.

PiB and RoD areas still all dry this morning, no visible effect of yesterday's rain

Came dangerously close to snapping the starting hold of woah black betty. Flexes somewhat now...

Griff's was more or less dry yesterday (sat). The good sidepull on the trav was a bit wet. A few heavy showers while I was there but seemed to get caught by the trees!

Looking at the forecast though that might be it for peak lime for this year...

tomtom · July 29, 2015, 02:01:05 pm

Beginners wall all completely dry this lunchtime. I suspect much of the lime in Blackwell will be OK too based on this...

Griff's etc dry yesterday.

Stopped by on the drive home in case anyone was interested - PiB and Jerry's traverse best described as spoogy

Anyone had a play on Ovine today? Thinking of heading there tomorrow but not sure how it holds up after rain

mark20 · August 15, 2015, 09:42:10 pm

I'm guessing it will be fine

I went yesterday avo. Was all dry apart from a lil bit of damp in the back of the starting diagonal crimp.

Simon W · August 16, 2015, 12:56:54 pm

Cheers, just got back, all good, as was PIB and beginners. Ovine's a class problem!

Sidehaas · September 05, 2015, 07:37:01 pm

Griff's still all good, people were on Beginner's and PiB / Jerry's both looked dry from the road although I didn't stop at them.

Three Nine · September 12, 2015, 10:44:21 pm

anyone have a look today?

cofe · September 20, 2015, 06:00:54 pm

Griff's etc pretty dry this avo.

Nike Air · September 21, 2015, 09:28:40 am

Is there a topo kicking round for Griff's anywhere ?

Bonjoy · September 21, 2015, 10:20:55 am

Griff's and BnD are in the BMC Northern Lime Guide

Nike Air · September 21, 2015, 10:24:52 am

Thanks bonjoy. Thought that was just a guide to the sport. Will hunt one down.

Bonjoy · September 21, 2015, 01:16:54 pm

The stuff lower down the dale which has been climbed since the guide came out is detailed on PB.info http://www.peakbouldering.info/areas/5-central-limestone/crags/109-blackwell-dale/boulders/1104-lower-blackwell-dale#.Vf_0_d9VhBc

Bonjoy · September 21, 2015, 01:19:02 pm

BTW the two bolted routes further down the dale are my work. The RH one is 7c+, the left is an ongoing proj.

abarro81 · October 09, 2015, 06:25:19 pm

Anyone been Blackwell since the rain earlier this week? Especially Griff's?

Ru · October 10, 2015, 09:18:28 am

No, but the tor and cheedale were dry yesterday so I'd be very surprised if Griffs was wet.

abarro81 · October 12, 2015, 09:35:17 am

You were right Ru, all dry yesterday. Badger cove all dry too apparently.
