Do Not Climb

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.

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.

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.

Trollers Gill has received frequent rain over recent weeks (85.5mm in 28 days) with rain today (2.1mm) and more forecast tomorrow and the day after. The enclosed gorge will be holding significant moisture, and limestone surfaces will be greasy and dangerous.
