Quayfoot Buttress
Lake District
Today
|
|||||
|
Quayfoot Buttress has had a few days of light, scattered precipitation following a heavier spell on May 3rd, and today is mostly dry with only trace amounts forecast from mid-afternoon. The south-facing BVS rock should be largely dry through the late morning window, but persistent cloud cover, moderate humidity, and the sheltered position mean a visual check on arrival is essential before committing to climb. |

Shepherd's Crag
Lake District
Today
|
|||||
|
Shepherd's Crag has had a mixed recent spell with light rain on several of the last few days (7.9mm on May 3rd, trace amounts since), but its south-facing aspect and non-porous BVS rock mean surface drying is relatively quick. A dry morning window today looks feasible, though the rock may carry residual dampness in sheltered spots and rain returns from tomorrow onward. |

Castle Rock of Triermain
Lake District
Today
|
|||||
|
Castle Rock of Triermain is currently damp from scattered light rain over recent days, with further showers forecast from early afternoon today and continuing through the next several days. Although the BVS rock does not suffer structural damage, friction will be significantly compromised on wet surfaces, and there is no meaningful dry window today or in the coming days. |

Raven Crag, Langdale
Lake District
Today
|
|||||
|
Raven Crag has had a prolonged unsettled spell with 10.1mm on May 3rd and light precipitation on several recent days including today, and the forecast shows continued showery weather through the coming week. Although the south-facing volcanic rock dries relatively quickly, persistent cloud cover, high humidity, and intermittent drizzle today mean the surface is unlikely to offer reliable friction. |

Scout Crag
Lake District
Today
|
|||||
|
Scout Crag has had light rain overnight and early this morning, with further scattered showers forecast through the afternoon and evening; although there is a potentially dry window mid-morning to early afternoon, high humidity and persistent cloud cover will limit drying on the south-facing rock. The week ahead looks unsettled with rain on most days, so conditions are unlikely to improve soon. |

Buckstone How
Lake District
Today
|
|||||
|
Recent days have seen intermittent light rain (May 3rd 8.5mm, plus small amounts on the 5th, 6th, and today) with high humidity and overcast skies, preventing the polished slate from drying properly. Light showers are forecast from mid-afternoon today and rain continues into the coming days, making reliable dry conditions unlikely. |

Dow Crag
Lake District
Today
|
|||||
|
Dow Crag is wet today with ongoing light rain, very high humidity, and the crag is almost certainly in cloud. Recent days have seen intermittent rain following a prolonged wet April, and seepage lines will be active across the buttresses. |

Hodge Close Quarry
Lake District
Today
|
|||||
|
Hodge Close has received rain this morning and intermittent light precipitation is forecast throughout the rest of today, with high humidity and full cloud cover trapping moisture in the sheltered quarry bowl. The polished slate surfaces will be greasy and dangerous; this is not a day to climb here. |
