if its dry and sunny thorn may be worth a hit, quite nice on tuesday morning. Little to humid/warm though; managed to climb fix my sink which broke my pulley last year! And kentmere roof would be dry too!

We made the most of it and spent a fortune in Booths, Carnforth and had a decent session at the climbing hangar after gorging on pies and pastries

Good news! Pretty much all dry at the moment bar closer and beauty of being numb being damp. AOSD undercut was wet when I got there but I dried it out, didn't get a close look at not bad dave but looked dry from the path. O'ert road was wet in places but dry in other, turbulence was mega wet but tinpot was dry.
Definitely worth a trip! Also checked out Warton on sunday for a walk and plumb buttress was all dry! Couldn't find the buttress with taken by surprise though, anyone got a any tips on how to find it?

Anyone been recently and know what the connies are like? Might be headed there on Friday.
Not about conditions but I know there was some controversy with back-hand roof. Might try this, is there prescribed beta or did Gaskins just do a duff sequence?
Cheers

Back Hand Roof Video here:
Not sure what Gaskins did . . . but anyway this is how its done now!
Beta in words:
Pull on undercuts, up with right hand into crimp (aim for your index finger hitting the spike part of the hold), then there is a hard move to get you heel placed on the ledge (Andy does this move with a drop knee) then a weird tension move to slap to the lip. From here if you go direct up Angel Delight it considered 7c+/8a or if you go right into flying finish its 8a.
Back Hand Roof tends to stay the wettest. Anyway I am driving home on Thursday eve, so if nobody gets back on here I will drop in and have a look for you!
If you do end up going I would also try:
Paroxysm
Turbulence
Arts of Self
Not Bad Dave
Good circuit for you!

There on Sunday and it was all primo at the main areas, didn't go over the road. I was a tourist though, so no idea what the weather has been up to since then.

I was there last night and everything was bone dry (both tom's buttress and over the road). Also with the breeze and temperatures in the mid teens it was some of the best conditions I've ever had

Was toying with heading up tomorrow am - but am not optimistic given todays hosing.. any local knowledge about how long it takes to recover/dry etc..? (even if the rock is dry I suspect it'll be humid with all the moisture around)...

No eye deer, but lots of lovely sunny pics tweeted by our Geologists from the lakes today and yesterday
Reads omens are favourable... When you thinking of heading up - got some free days..

Warton was, unsurprisingly, in fine fettle this afternoon.

Thinking of heading up to Trowbarra' & Woodwell tomorrow (Sun) - was wondering if anyone's been recently - and/or if you've had much rain up that way in the last couple of days?
Thanks. TT
