Despite a mild spell with some drying potential over recent days, the rock has received nearly 119mm of rain over the past 28 days with no consecutive dry days as of today, and 1.2mm fell today. The gritstone is almost certainly still holding significant internal moisture and conditions are not suitable for climbing.

Climbing Outlook
Site Details
Gigantic gritstone blocks standing in a meadow near Knaresborough, resembling a miniature Brimham Rocks. Around 44 problems from Font 2+ to V8. An excellent beginner-friendly venue with plenty of easier problems and flat, open landings. The rock can be sandy in places. Very limited parking (space for about 2 cars). A charming, low-key spot — quick to explore in a single session.
