Quayfoot Buttress
Lake District
Today
|
|||||
|
After a very wet fortnight (nearly 200mm in 28 days), Quayfoot has had two dry days (June 14–15) followed by light drizzle today. The south-facing, non-porous BVS rock at this low-altitude crag dries quickly, so the main faces may be dry during the mid-morning to mid-afternoon window today, but high humidity (80%+) and 100% cloud cover will slow surface drying and the tree canopy above may still be dripping. A visual check on arrival is essential. |

Shepherd's Crag
Lake District
Today
|
|||||
|
After a very wet period (nearly 200mm in 28 days), Shepherd's Crag has had two dry days (June 14–15) and a mostly dry morning today, but high humidity, full cloud cover, and light rain returning this afternoon limit drying. The south-facing aspect and non-porous BVS rock mean the main faces may have surface-dried enough for a midday window, but seepage-prone areas and sheltered sections will still be damp. |

Raven Crag, Langdale
Lake District
Today
|
|||||
|
Raven Crag has been subjected to a prolonged wet spell with nearly 242mm of rain in the last 28 days and further rain today and throughout the coming week; the rock is almost certainly damp and seepage lines will be running. Despite a brief dry window mid-afternoon today, persistent 100% cloud cover, near-saturation humidity, and ongoing drizzle mean reliable friction cannot be expected. |

Scout Crag
Lake District
Today
|
|||||
|
Scout Crag has been subjected to a prolonged wet spell with over 220mm in the last 28 days and rain again today; although there is a brief drier window mid-afternoon, high humidity and persistent cloud cover mean the rock is unlikely to dry adequately. The forecast shows further heavy rain arriving tomorrow and through the week, making genuinely dry conditions improbable until at least June 22nd. |

Buckstone How
Lake District
Today
|
|||||
|
Buckstone How is currently unsafe for climbing. The crag has been subjected to an exceptionally prolonged wet spell — nearly 280mm in 28 days — with significant rainfall in recent days, today's humidity near 100%, and 100% cloud cover at altitude suggesting the crag is likely in cloud and saturated. Heavy rain is forecast for the next several days with no meaningful drying window. |

Dow Crag
Lake District
Today
|
|||||
|
Dow Crag is saturated after an extremely wet fortnight (over 240mm in 28 days) with rain today and more forecast through the week. The crag will be streaming with seepage, humidity is near 100%, and there is no meaningful drying window in sight. |

Hodge Close Quarry
Lake District
Today
|
|||||
|
Hodge Close is thoroughly saturated after an extremely wet period — nearly 224mm in the last 28 days with heavy rain as recently as June 11 — and conditions today are damp with near-100% humidity and further rain forecast through the week. The polished quarried slate will be dangerously greasy and the sheltered quarry bowl will not have dried out. |

Lake District
Today
|
|||||
|
Castle Rock of Triermain is saturated after an exceptionally wet fortnight (135mm in 28 days) with virtually no drying windows, and today brings further light rain with near-100% humidity and full cloud cover. The forecast shows heavy rain continuing through the week, making conditions unsuitable for climbing. |
