Brimham Rocks is thoroughly saturated after 165mm of rain over the past 28 days with virtually no meaningful dry periods, and today has received further rain. The gritstone will be deeply waterlogged internally despite any surface drying, and conditions are clearly unsuitable for climbing.
Based on weather conditions only — does not cover bird nesting restrictions or other access issues.
