Overnite has been shelved until next year. the current proj is Conehead. Mega fingery, sustained and technical climbing on smallish handholds and poor footholds. It's got some of the best moves I've done anywhere, well worth a look IMHO. Hope to be up on Sunday, if the weather holds.

Was absolutely mint today. Had the crag to ourselves. Lots drying quickly, all dry from Magnetic to far right, except the Groove.
Didn't look upstairs, but expect it to be in good nick also.

wa hey sounds bang on for tomorrow!!!

north_country_boy · November 24, 2007, 08:31:24 pm

most stuff was 80% dry today, overnite rightwards was dry too the groove....then odd patches on routes further right, overlaps on left hand side were damp and dripping and bits and bobs on magnetic/austrian/maximum but MLS was bone dry! .........

Weather was bitter! Really cold and wind blowing into crag occassionally but we did have 30mins or so of sun!!!

Not a great day for redpointing but ideal if your project was dry....

Most things still wet apart from the usual suspects in the middle. Raindogs ok from second bolt upwards, most of Overnite mostly ok, Magnetic wet at top, large parts of Mid Ledge looked ok. Seepage almost everywhere else but dried back well during the day. Upstairs looked to have lots of seepage but NAT/Obsession probably ok.

cheers Andy, was just about to send you a pm after seeing you went today on UKC....great for info on Mid Ledge....maybe try get up this week if this wind and dry spell continues....

I imagine the left hand side is cream crackered?

Andy F · January 27, 2008, 07:27:41 pm

Yep, most of the LHS was very seepy, but it did look like things were getting drier during the day. If we get a sustained dry spell it'll clear up pretty well IMHO. Mid Ledge was one of the driest routes there today, not bone but certainly workable and should get better during the week.

north_country_boy · January 27, 2008, 07:36:54 pm

cheers, thats good to hear, maybe i better get my redpoint boots out..... $:-\$

Malham was very dry today with most things doable on central section and lefthand side by the time we left, very very cold though and not ideal redpoint weather....if sun stays out for a whole day it would be perfect......hopefully the weekend may bring some winter sun!!

Andy F · February 13, 2008, 08:19:10 am

Almost everything bone yesterday, a few seepage spots on the odd route, all do-able.

north_country_boy · February 17, 2008, 10:32:31 am

It was Primo yesterday, catwalk completely dry and much of left hand side bar a few holds on obvious stuff at midway overlap/bulge....

Beautiful day in the sun with not a cloud in the sky!

Andy F · February 24, 2008, 06:53:03 pm

Lots of wetness on the stuff left of Zoolook, most other stuff dry. Was cold today, but good conditions for redpointing.

Teaboy · February 26, 2008, 10:37:14 am

I walked along to Goredale on Sunday as well and a lot of stuff was dry there including Supercool, it was no colder than Malham either.

Oli · February 29, 2008, 08:19:46 pm

Was anyone there today or wishes to hazard a guess whether parts (stuff in low-mid 7s) will be dry tomorrow?

Serpico · February 29, 2008, 08:56:45 pm

Very cold and windy blowing rain into the crag. If it's dry tomorrow then the usual things like 7th Aardvark, Free and even, Consenting, Etc will be ok.

Oli · February 29, 2008, 09:39:33 pm

Thanks, I'll see what the weather looks like in the morning and make a decision then.

Andy F · March 09, 2008, 07:23:52 pm

Most stuff left of Overnite had seepage, some of it surface wetness. Right of Something Stupid was often damp. Upstairs in mostly good condition, but it was bloody cold when the clouds came over.

ehmojow · March 18, 2008, 09:39:47 am

anyone been to malham recently? thinkin of goin but can't be arsed if it's gona be wrapped in piss...

Andy F · March 18, 2008, 10:14:48 am

On Sunday it was pretty damp left of Overnite and right of Something Stupid, with seepage coming through upstairs. But it did dry during the day, if there's been little rain then more will be dry by now.

ehmojow · March 18, 2008, 11:09:04 am

nice one

shortyx · March 20, 2008, 04:47:22 pm

Sit Rep: Mostly dry yesterday, even the stuff on the left wall, New Dawn etc. Upstairs in top nick

There was a bit of rain last night/this morning though

Andy F · March 23, 2008, 11:27:12 am

Almost all dry as of yesterday. Infact it was too hot and sunny, according to my sources

Shy Ted · March 23, 2008, 01:07:54 pm

was there yesterday. primo. everything on catwalk do-able. roofs still too wet mind

Andy F · March 25, 2008, 07:52:28 pm

Lots more stuff damp today, mainly to the left of Overnite, but it did dry back during the day. Upstairs all in condition.

Andy F · March 30, 2008, 10:33:37 pm

Lots more stuff very damp today but mainly surface run-off, but it did dry back during the day again. Upstairs mostly in condition, but things around Herbie/NAT damp.
