Anston Conditions

Has anyone been this week? Weather looks a bit iffy but I am so keen to get out of London.
 
Anyone been down there today? Looking mainly to have a do on apprentice wall area.
 
If anyone cares, it was a bit grim. Pockets were a bit seepy, nothing gopping, but holds under roof (e.g. tech nine) were grim, pinging off random stuff due to spoogyness (the good hold on the end). Frustrating! One or two mozzies around but not too bad.
 
On tues Frodo was a bit spoogy - Nai said it was crap on thurs but Apprentice Wall was ok apparently.

Suspect not much seepage but depends on wind any condensing etc... I’m in manc af the moment - and whilst it might be completely different over there- I’d guess it’s alright...
 
Generally reasonable conditions on the wave and Ebola today.
A bit spoogy on some of the crimps and on the tufas around the black crow, but generally climable.
Not sure how this current deluge will effect things though.
 
Anyone know if will have remained dry throughout all this rain over the week? Looking for an outdoor venue for the weekend, not ready to resign myself to weekend indoor climbing yet!
 
Anyone know how Anston handles temp increases of 2-3 degrees?

Free on Wednesday and it currently looks like it may be the best option(?), but I've never been before and don't know much about what impacts conditions here. Looks like its been dry for a few days though so my main concern is condensing?

Can't say for sure how it is affected but there are other crags in the area which will be less affected if it is condensed.
 
It's considerably more reliable than central peak lime condensation wise in my experience. Rarely seen it wet.
 
Depends also on wind direction (and if there is any)... main area (wave/bullet/ebola) normally cops a bit of breeze and does OK...
 
can't help re condensation but the main area (bullet / ebola etc.) was dry and breezy on Saturday, though Frodo's Cave was gopping (as I found out after lots of slipping, stumbling, and sliding up a steep mud slope... and then tumbling back down).

Frodo needs a good dry spell to be decent....
 
Pondering Anston with #depotfallbackoption Saturday morning (can’t get out afternoon). Anyone been the last couple of days and know how dry it is? Ta.
 
From FB “ Anston mostly condensed today. The odd one doable but generally suggest wait for an 'anti-condensation' weather day or two”
