Planning on heading to Cloggy this weekend but a bit unsure if it'll be in nick...

Never been before and got our eyes on the classics up to about E4 but looks like it's gonna be a bit of a wet week...

Anyone got any local knowledge or should we just look elsewhere??

Cheers..

The guidebook has some good advice about drying times for various routes.

Fair enough... My ancient Rock Climbs in Snowdonia guide is sadly missing this but thanks for your input...

Pop me a message and I'll send you a photo of the page JCM is referencing.

Looking at the forecast, i think you’ll be very lucky to find it in condition this weekend. 
if you do decide to chance it and the main faces aren’t in condition then try shrike area which faces east ( although the approach gully is terrifying if the grass is wet)

Thanks Dave... That was my estimation, looks pretty biblical up there today according to the Met Office... 

Shame tho as my mate and I have wanted to go for years and the planets have finally aligned to allow us a full 4 days sans kids or any responsibilities slap bang in the middle of summer! 

Sure we'll find summat to do  

Sadly, it’s grim today!

Booooo! 

Time for a rethink.... 

Cheers for the update..

I suspect your Cloggy plans might be doomed for this weekend, but in case you go or for future reference I'd +1 Dave's recommendation of The Pinnacle area. After a wet spell in early June we managed a fairly dry ascent of a combo linking Lithrig into Pinnacle Arete and the Hand Traverse, followed by Shrike

Top tip to avoid the terrifying gully mentioned by Dave is to rap from the top of Shrike / The Axe rather than approach from below.
