Caley Crags is thoroughly saturated after 132.6mm of rain over the past 28 days with virtually no meaningful dry spells, and today has brought further rain. The NW-facing woodland setting, persistent high humidity, and winter conditions mean the gritstone will be deeply wet internally despite any surface drying, and climbing would risk permanent damage to this irreplaceable venue.

Site Details
One of Yorkshire's iconic bouldering venues at Pool-in-Wharfedale. Over 200 problems in a classic woodland setting, split between Roadside Boulders and The Main Crag higher up the hill. North-west facing, so best on long summer evenings or in hot weather. Known for tenuous slabs, bold highballs, aretes, and quirky holds. Convenient access from Leeds.
