Cheers. I kept that as a back up but risked Caley and Slapstick is dry. A bit short on time so I’m glad not to have wasted the driving time only to find it wet!
 
A mate was wondering if Caley would be dry on Saturday?? And I said I’d ask on here… no idea how wet it’s been in Leeds recently. Has been quite wet in Manchester and Sheffield so I’d imagine it’s a no-go but wondered w
If anyone had any inklings?
 
Slight caveat it has been v wet, and most of caley will get neither the wind or the sun!
Although with the low humidity the wind is bringing tomorrow it could well just dry everything anyway.
 
I'd lean more towards Will's guess, seems like the wind will be so strong and humidity so low it shouldn't matter that's it's more of a Southerly than Northerly.
 
There's currently a good breeze running along roadside, about two-thirds of what I walked passed was nice and dry, the rest was not too far off (this is after a bit of heavy rain last night). I can only imagine it'll be better tomorrow.
Awesome, Thanks so much 36chambers!! Really appreciate the intel.
 
It's currently raining nearby, which I don't remember seeing in the forecast earlier today, so we're back at the wind's mercy :|
 
Yeah Leeds has been drizzly all evening, and wind has dropped a bit since this afternoon. Caley should be somewhat breezier, but my guess is that early tomorrow could be damp still.
 
Caley was mint until an enormous and unforecast rain/sleet shower rolled through at 14.30. Amusingly I gather this rain didn't hit Almscliff a few miles away!

I thought I was going crazy! Running around the Chevin, blue skies when I set off, suddenly there's hail/sleet pouring down. I'd have guessed it crossed the valley to Almscliff, bizarre it didn't.
 
Does anyone know how easy/hard it is to find heaven in your hands at brandrith in condition? Looking at heading to it on the weekend, think it looks dry enough through the week but not hugely windy?
 
Wind direction on Friday / Saturday isn't ideal with rain overnight into Friday. May well be worth a punt on Saturday but I'd have a backup plan in place.

It's a bastard. Unless there's a wind to catch the face it can stay wet. I've walked in several times to find it wet/condensed /iced up when I thought it would be decent. However I can't see the overnight rain Bradders mentions on my forecast so I'd probably say it's worth a punt on Saturday, but be prepared to bail.

Worth mentioning that the West End road to the west of the crag is closed due to the A59 diversion. You may need to approach from the other side. Details in the guidebook.
 
Ah I misread Bradders post, thought he said into Sat morning. Yeah, dubious. Wouldn't like to suggest either way based on that!
