Crags

The Cromlech Boulders are currently soaked from heavy rain today (25.7mm) following a very wet week, and the forecast shows continuous heavy rain for the next four days. The rock will be wet and dangerously slippery with no viable climbing window today or in the coming days.

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.

The rock is currently wet from heavy rain today (22.8mm) with persistent showers throughout the morning and early afternoon. The forecast shows a sustained multi-day rain event through August 30th, with no meaningful drying window expected until September 1st at the earliest.

Angel Bay is currently wet from today's rain with extremely high humidity (88–95%), and a major storm system is forecast to deliver over 70mm of rain across the next three days. Additionally, the seal breeding season restriction (August–December) is now active, making access ethically and likely legally inappropriate.

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.

The RAC Boulders are currently wet from heavy rain today (11.3mm) with ongoing showers through the morning, and the forecast shows a prolonged wet spell of 4+ days ahead with over 50mm expected. Rhyolite becomes extremely slippery when wet, making bouldering unsafe — especially at a venue popular with beginners.

Sheep Pen Boulders are currently wet from significant rainfall today (12.5mm, much of it falling through the morning), and the forecast shows a prolonged spell of heavy rain over the next three days totalling nearly 60mm. Conditions are unsuitable for climbing today and will remain so for most of the coming week.

Caseg Fraith is currently wet from heavy rain this morning (nearly 12mm today so far) with further heavy rain forecast for the next two days (24.5mm and 22.7mm). The rock will be saturated and slippery, with no realistic drying window in the near term.

Dow Crag is currently wet and will remain so — today has seen light rain building to heavier showers this afternoon, with 100% cloud cover likely keeping the crag in mist. The forecast shows a prolonged spell of heavy rain over the next five days (nearly 80mm predicted), making conditions unsuitable for climbing.

Hodge Close is currently wet and conditions are deteriorating rapidly. Rain today (4.7mm with showers through the afternoon) follows a significant wet spell (19–20 Aug: 27mm), and the forecast shows heavy, persistent rain over the next five days (77mm+), making the quarry unsuitable for climbing on its polished slate surfaces.

Parisella's Cave is experiencing very high humidity (89–95%) with intermittent rain today, and a major wet spell is forecast for the next three days with over 75mm of rain expected. Even though the cave roof provides rain shelter, limestone becomes extremely greasy at these humidity levels, making conditions unsafe for the steep, technical climbing found here.

Raven Crag is currently wet from today's rain and faces a prolonged spell of heavy rainfall over the coming days, with nearly 75mm forecast in the next six days. The rock will not have adequate drying time at any point this week, making friction unreliable and conditions unsuitable for climbing.
