Crags

The rock is thoroughly saturated after a prolonged wet spell — 29mm in the last 7 days alone, with today adding a further 12.2mm of heavy rain. There has been no meaningful drying window; the gritstone will be deeply wet internally and climbing today or in the near future risks permanent damage to holds and routes.

Almscliff is currently soaked after a prolonged wet period — over 55mm in the last 28 days with repeated rain events, culminating in 7.1mm today including heavy pre-dawn showers. Despite the exposed hilltop position and favourable S/W aspect, the gritstone has had virtually no meaningful drying window in the past two weeks and should not be climbed on today.

Brimham Rocks is currently wet and unsuitable for climbing. The past two weeks have seen repeated rainfall events totalling over 50mm, with rain again today (4.7mm) and further rain forecast tomorrow — the gritstone will be thoroughly saturated internally despite any brief surface drying windows.

Trollers Gill is saturated after a prolonged wet spell — nearly 93mm in the last 28 days with significant rain in the past week and today — and the enclosed gorge will be holding moisture extensively. With humidity consistently above 85%, ongoing showers, and no meaningful dry spell forecast, the limestone will be greasy and potentially seeping throughout the gorge.
