I wasn't aware of any grit that would be dry when raining, and stumbled upon the New Mills anomaly by chance - was wondering if there were any other options?
Best grit to climb in the wet is a good idea though...!
Lawrencefield tends to do ok when the weather is a bit crap, but if it is full on wet ming then it will be as bad as anywhere else. In those conditions you may as well go for somewhere exposed and quick drying so you can get on the rock quickly if there is a break in the weather.
In reply to Bertbee: New Mills is best; steep sections of crag facing away from the wind direction also works. There is the Cave at Shining Cliff where we put up a few routes in the rain...grubby wet exit though. Raven Rock gully at the Roaches can stay dry to the exit. Lots of bouldering, the best being the Churnett but try the lower stuff at Cratcliffe or Matlock Bank. Finally you have the limestone cave aid climbs.
