Quayfoot Buttress has had five consecutive dry days with warm temperatures and southerly sun exposure, providing excellent drying conditions on this non-porous Borrowdale Volcanic rock. The crag should be thoroughly dry and offering superb friction today.

Scout Crag has had five consecutive dry days with warm temperatures and a south-facing aspect, meaning the non-porous BVS rock should be thoroughly dry and offering excellent friction. The last meaningful rain (3.3mm on Aug 9) is well behind, and today is dry — conditions are genuinely good for climbing.

Raven Crag has had five consecutive dry days with good sun exposure on Aug 11–13 (up to 25°C), and the south-facing volcanic rock will have dried thoroughly. Today's conditions look good for climbing, though humidity is elevated and deterioration is forecast from tomorrow onwards.

Five consecutive dry days with warming temperatures and moderate wind should have dried the rock surface well, though today's elevated humidity (87%) and the crag's NW aspect mean some sheltered areas may retain dampness. Conditions are likely good but worth checking on arrival, especially on the north crag seepage lines.

After three fully dry days (Aug 11–13) with warm temperatures and moderate wind, the rhyolite at Caseg Fraith should be largely dry on exposed surfaces. However, today's 0.1mm precipitation and elevated humidity (87%) introduce slight uncertainty, and the forecast shows persistent light drizzle over the next few days before heavier rain arrives on Aug 18.

The RAC Boulders have had three excellent dry days (Aug 11–13) with warm temperatures up to 29°C, which should have thoroughly dried the rock surface after the rain on Aug 9–10. However, today (Aug 14) shows 0.1mm precipitation and high humidity (89%), introducing slight uncertainty about current surface conditions.

Today has seen 0.6mm of light rain with high humidity (88%), but the rock had three excellent drying days prior (Aug 11–13) with warm temperatures and low humidity. The south-facing aspect and partial wind exposure should allow surface moisture to clear relatively quickly, but conditions need visual confirmation on arrival given today's dampness and the unsettled forecast ahead.

Today has seen 0.6mm of rain with very high humidity (89%), and the forecast shows continued light precipitation and elevated humidity through the week, culminating in a heavy 21mm event on Aug 18. While the rock enjoyed a good dry spell from Aug 11–13, today's moisture and the unsettled outlook make current conditions unreliable for friction-dependent bouldering.

Dow Crag has had a very wet recent period with 72mm in the last 28 days, and today has seen light rain with 91% humidity — the crag is likely damp with active seepage lines. While three dry days earlier this week (Aug 10–13) offered some drying, today's return of moisture and a unsettled forecast through the weekend make conditions unreliable for this high mountain venue.

Today has seen 1.2mm of rain with high humidity (87%), and the rock is likely still damp on arrival. The forecast shows continued light precipitation over the next three days followed by a heavy deluge on August 18th, making the coming week largely unfavourable for bouldering.
