Didn't look at Sean's tbh.
Was playing on Byker Groove which was still seeping a little higher up.

Looked like it was drying out, some damp holds and patches around still last night, although we couldn't actually climb on that sideof the road some guy had parked a foot away from rock and apparently had then gone cycling! Fricking heck, we went the tor.

red or dead and the other 7b forgot its name looked doable, slight wet patches on the big sloper rail, but if your keen probably dryable.

I could be wrong - and often have been, but with last nights rain and today's rain I would think it was wet.
Anybody driven by?

Most likely still wet.
Its been raining in Buxton on and off for the last couple of days and in my experience of Blackwell Dale it needs to be well into summer for the connies to come good down there.

No idea, but I'm driving past on Saturday morning (as long as it's not raining) so could have a look then. Obviously later than you want though...

I had a look on Saturday and water was streaming down the PIB side from the ground above. Looked like it was mainly the run off rather than any seepage, but it was completely soaked.

On the other side, Jerry's suffered the same fate, but Red or Dead was dry as a bone.

Looked in on Sunday. All of the Red Or Dead side was dry. Paint it Black was climbable with a little damp in the undercut crack, the stuff to its left was wet and Sean's was dry enough except for the big hole.
