Spofforth Pinnacles
Yorkshire
Today
|
|||||
|
Light rain fell on April 11 (2.1mm) and April 12 (1.6mm, with the last 0.3mm at 18:00 yesterday), so the rock has had less than 24 hours of drying. However, the S/W aspect, moderate winds, and reasonable temperatures today give the freestanding blocks a fighting chance of being dry on sun-exposed faces — but this needs on-site verification before climbing. |

Almscliff Crag
Yorkshire
Today
|
|||||
|
Almscliff has experienced frequent light rain over the past week with no sustained dry spell, and today itself has 0.5mm of precipitation. Despite the exposed hilltop position and favourable S/W aspect, the cumulative moisture from repeated wettings (42mm over 28 days with rain on most recent days) means the gritstone is very likely still holding internal moisture. We recommend not climbing today. |

Caley Crags
Yorkshire
Today
|
|||||
|
Caley Crags has received repeated light rain over the past week (7.1mm in 7 days across multiple events), with the most recent precipitation today (0.3mm) and 2.1mm yesterday. The NW-facing aspect, woodland setting, and lack of consecutive dry days mean the gritstone is very unlikely to have dried adequately, and further rain is forecast tomorrow and Tuesday. |

Earl Crag
Yorkshire
Today
|
|||||
|
Earl Crag has received persistent rainfall over recent weeks (106mm in 28 days, 23.2mm in the last 7 days alone), with significant rain on April 11 (12.9mm) and April 12 (5.7mm), and light precipitation today. The rock will be saturated internally despite any surface drying, and conditions are clearly unsuitable for climbing on gritstone. |

Brimham Rocks
Yorkshire
Today
|
|||||
|
Brimham Rocks is currently too wet to climb safely. Repeated rainfall over recent weeks — including 1.7mm yesterday, 1.2mm today, and significant events on March 24th (20.5mm) and March 29th (10.1mm) — means the gritstone has had no meaningful drying window, and the rock will be saturated internally despite any surface drying. |

Crookrise
Yorkshire
Today
|
|||||
|
Crookrise has been subjected to frequent, repeated wetting over the past two weeks with very little opportunity for sustained drying, and today has seen further precipitation (1.8mm). Despite the south-facing aspect and exposed position, the rock will be saturated internally and conditions are unsuitable for climbing. |

Ilkley (Cow and Calf)
Yorkshire
Today
|
|||||
|
The rock at Cow and Calf is almost certainly still wet internally following a prolonged period of frequent rain. There has been significant precipitation over the last two weeks with no sustained dry spell, and today itself has 1mm forecast — conditions are not suitable for climbing on gritstone. |

Shipley Glen
Yorkshire
Today
|
|||||
|
Shipley Glen has received repeated rain over the past week with no meaningful dry spell, and today itself has seen 1mm of precipitation. The sheltered, north-facing woodland setting means the gritstone will be thoroughly damp internally despite any surface drying, and conditions are not suitable for climbing. |
