cleaned converter up slightly wet pocket/undercut but dryable, cave problem now dry enough to climb, despite the rain we have been having. pump up the power is slightly wet, but with towel and some chalk it is easily done, the undercuts on stamina band are damp, and the pocket used to get to the start of power band is also damp, that didn't stop some people at throwing some very good links on stamina band though!

Bouldering was bad connies today - mix of seepage and condensation. Routes around sardine looked fine, a bit longing further left. Might be better tomorrow after some sunshine this afternoon.

This afternoon: central stuff looks pretty good - mecca and extension look just about dry. Chimes looks dry but apparently some dampness in the back of the crimps on the headwall. PB pockets damp.

Crag x is mostly dry too

Anything in particular? Didn't check in the cave really but weedkiller was dry.

Power and staminaband climbable with people on them, but one or two pockets slightly damp. Though not bad and dryable.

Routes wise, most things looked okay. LHS is still pretty foooked though. Few weeks of decent weather and Barrows may have to be calling...

Bit grim today but lots climbable. Some powerband pockets are a bit wet so take towels (probably dryable). Lots of greasyness about...

mecca undercut wet again, tried to dry it today but by the time i lowered off and got back up to it it was damp again, the other undercut feels slightly damp too, wetness at the back of the jug but i was able to dry this.

Pretty poor this morning- cave very damp and wet, RHS looked bad. Middle routes around sardine to call of nature seemed dryable/workable.

If anyone goes tomorrow or Tuesday day time can they give an update, I'm wondering whether a Tue night hit would be worth it. Cheers.

Was there last night. Staminaband was all dry, Ben's Roof was dry apart from one foothold in the roof. Was pretty drippy in the cave (e.g. the pocket on Keen Roof was wet). Cave problem wet. Didn't look at anything else.

was there today, bizarrely weed killer was really wet, but it was drying really quickly in the sun, wouldn't be surprised if it was dry by tmrw.
