Crags

Buckstone How is currently wet and unsafe for climbing. Heavy rain over the past 48 hours (16.6mm yesterday, 6.3mm today so far) on top of an extremely wet period (280mm in 28 days) means the polished slate surfaces will be dangerously greasy, and high humidity (89%) is preventing effective drying.

Dow Crag is currently wet and unsuitable for climbing. Heavy rain over the past 48 hours (20.3mm yesterday, 4.3mm today so far) on top of an exceptionally wet month (234mm in 28 days) means the crag will be streaming with water, seepage lines will be fully active, and the volcanic rock will be dangerously slippery.

Castle Rock of Triermain is currently wet and unsuitable for climbing. Heavy, persistent rainfall over the past week (92.5mm in 7 days), significant rain yesterday (16.7mm) and today (7.2mm already), combined with high humidity (89%) and zero consecutive dry days, mean the rock surfaces will be saturated with standing water and active seepage lines.

Hodge Close is currently wet and unsafe for climbing. Heavy rain yesterday (22mm), rain today (4.5mm), and an exceptionally wet recent period (278.5mm in 28 days) mean the sheltered quarry bowl will be saturated with standing water on surfaces and active seepage from the rim. The polished slate will be dangerously greasy.

Scout Crag is currently wet and unsuitable for climbing. Heavy rain yesterday (21.2mm) was followed by further rain today (7.6mm), and the rock will be thoroughly soaked with no meaningful drying window. The prolonged wet spell across the last month (284mm) compounds the issue.

Raven Crag is currently wet and unsuitable for climbing. Heavy rain yesterday (17.3mm) followed by further rain today (6.7mm) means the rock surface will be damp with active seepage lines, and the relentless wet spell over recent weeks (309mm in 28 days) has saturated the surrounding ground, feeding persistent drainage across the crag.

Quayfoot Buttress is currently wet — 6.9mm of rain is falling today on top of 15.2mm yesterday, with very little drying opportunity between showers. The rock surface will be slippery and unsafe for climbing, particularly on the delicate slab routes that demand high friction.

Shepherd's Crag is currently wet and unsuitable for climbing. Heavy rain yesterday (15.2mm) was followed by further rain overnight and today (6.9mm so far), with no meaningful drying window; the rock will be wet and slippery despite its non-porous nature.
