In case anyone was curious I checked the crag out with Keith Sharples on Saturday (19th July). Ape Index, Yorkshire 8b and left dry but the rest of the crag ie the bits that count were drenched. Keith reckoned 2 weeks of dry weather required to get back into condition.
2 weeks! A week last Saturday it looked sodden on arrival, but both Free Monster and Rumble were climbed that day and you could see the crag drying before your eyes. Not disputing Keith's knowledge of the crag, but I bet it's dry quicker than that, especially with the warm weather forecast for this week.

yesterday - BD pretty dry, free monster bone, disillusioned had a wet hold in the middle, but otherwise dry. Has anyone done dole 89?
Pulled a massive undercut off the top of Thatcher Years, which was pretty exciting!
