Crags

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 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 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.

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.
