Crags

Almscliff has had four consecutive dry days since the heavy 24.5mm deluge on May 3rd, with moderate temperatures and reasonable wind, but the exposed hilltop S/W aspect has aided drying. The rock surface should be largely dry on south-facing sections, but internal moisture from that significant rainfall event may linger — a visual and tactile check on arrival is essential before committing to climb.

The gorge has had three dry days (May 4–6) following a significant 18mm deluge on May 3, but the sheltered, enclosed nature of Trollers Gill means drying is slow, and today's light rain plus high overnight humidity add uncertainty. A dry window exists this afternoon (roughly 10:00–21:00) with humidity dropping to the low 60s, but climbers should visually check holds for residual seepage before committing.
