Spofforth Pinnacles
Yorkshire
Today
|
|||||
|
Spofforth Pinnacles has had 6 consecutive dry days following the heavy 13.5mm rain on August 20th, with warm temperatures and moderate winds aiding drying on these south/west-facing freestanding blocks. Conditions today should be good for climbing, particularly during the drier afternoon window, but rain is forecast from tomorrow onwards so this is the last reliable dry day for a while. |

Caley Crags
Yorkshire
Today
|
|||||
|
The rock had five fully dry days (Aug 21–25) after 8.8mm on Aug 20, which in summer warmth should have allowed reasonable drying, but today's trace precipitation and very high overnight humidity may have re-dampened surfaces. With 22.9mm forecast tomorrow and continued heavy rain through the weekend, today's late afternoon offers the only realistic climbing window before a prolonged wet spell. |

Ilkley (Cow and Calf)
Yorkshire
Today
|
|||||
|
The rock has had roughly 4 dry days since the last significant rain on August 20th (7.2mm), but a cluster of wet days from August 16–21 deposited ~15mm in total, and humidity has remained high (79% average over the last week). The south/south-west aspect and exposed position have aided drying, and conditions may be acceptable on upper, well-drained faces this afternoon — but visual assessment is essential before committing, especially with heavy rain arriving tomorrow. |

Shipley Glen
Yorkshire
Today
|
|||||
|
The rock at Shipley Glen is likely still holding internal moisture from the recent wet spell (11.1mm on Aug 20, plus smaller amounts on the 16th–19th and 21st), and today's rain (1.7mm forecast) resets any drying progress. With heavy rain forecast for the next four days (43+ mm), conditions will remain unsuitable for the foreseeable future. |

Almscliff Crag
Yorkshire
Today
|
|||||
|
The crag received 10.8mm of heavy rain on Aug 20 followed by a good 5-day drying window, but light rain today (0.5mm) has re-wetted the surface, and a major wet spell (15.8mm tomorrow, then further rain through Aug 30) is about to arrive. Conditions are marginal right now and about to deteriorate significantly — we recommend not climbing. |

Brimham Rocks
Yorkshire
Today
|
|||||
|
Recent heavy rain on Aug 20 (11.6mm) followed by scattered showers and persistently high humidity means the rock has not had adequate continuous drying, and a major wet spell is forecast from tomorrow through Aug 30. Today offers marginal conditions at best on exposed south-facing formations, but internal moisture from the unsettled past week is a concern, and climbing is not recommended. |

Trollers Gill
Yorkshire
Today
|
|||||
|
Recent rain (11.6mm on Aug 20, plus smaller amounts on Aug 16–19 and Aug 21) followed by only four dry days before today's light drizzle, combined with persistently high humidity (~80%+) and the sheltered, enclosed gorge environment, means Trollers Gill is likely still holding residual moisture and seepage. A massive 46.7mm of rain is forecast over the next five days, making conditions progressively worse. |

Earl Crag
Yorkshire
Today
|
|||||
|
Earl Crag is currently wet from rain today and the preceding wet period (23mm in the last 7 days including 18.7mm on Aug 20), and the forecast shows heavy, sustained rainfall over the next 4–5 days totalling over 50mm. Conditions are clearly unsuitable for climbing now and will remain so for the foreseeable future. |

Crookrise
Yorkshire
Today
|
|||||
|
Crookrise is currently wet from today's intermittent rain and the significant rainfall earlier this week (Aug 17–21: ~28mm cumulative), and a prolonged spell of heavy rain is forecast from tomorrow through at least Aug 31. Conditions are clearly unsuitable for climbing now and will remain so for the foreseeable future. |
