Crags

Quayfoot Buttress has had five consecutive dry days with warm temperatures and southerly sun exposure, providing excellent drying conditions on this non-porous Borrowdale Volcanic rock. The crag should be thoroughly dry and offering superb friction today.

Scout Crag has had five consecutive dry days with warm temperatures and a south-facing aspect, meaning the non-porous BVS rock should be thoroughly dry and offering excellent friction. The last meaningful rain (3.3mm on Aug 9) is well behind, and today is dry — conditions are genuinely good for climbing.

Shepherd's Crag has had 5 consecutive dry days following only light rain (5mm on Aug 9), with warm temperatures and good solar exposure on its south-facing aspect — the rock should be thoroughly dry today. Conditions will deteriorate significantly from Aug 17 onwards as a wet spell moves in.

Raven Crag has had five consecutive dry days with good sun exposure on Aug 11–13 (up to 25°C), and the south-facing volcanic rock will have dried thoroughly. Today's conditions look good for climbing, though humidity is elevated and deterioration is forecast from tomorrow onwards.

Five consecutive dry days with good temperatures, moderate wind, and a south/south-west aspect have allowed the slate surfaces at Buckstone How to dry thoroughly. Conditions today are genuinely dry, though humidity is elevated at 87% so shaded ledges may feel slightly damp.
