Do Not Climb

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.

Do Not Climb

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.

Do Not Climb

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.
