Hi,

Am considering paying Etive slabs a visit this saturday. Would be looking to climb lines like The Hammer and The Pause. Looking at the forecast I know thursday and friday are meant to be dry. I am just wondering if this is enough time for the slabs to dry or will there still be seepage? I know a lot of seepage runs down some of the lines on the crag.
Cheers for any advice.
Joe

Is this Caelans mate?

I was there last week, we had a look at the Pause but it was pretty slimy when we were there so we gave it a miss and went up Spartan Slab which was dry enough. Not sure about the hammer though.

In reply to Joe Barlow:

Yes it is, did we meet on the ben?

Cheers for that I think it may be a bit damp, I have climbed spartan slab before so not that fussed to go back for that.

Yeh that was me, give me an add on fb to see the pics from last week. Jumped off the etive falls after too, great day out!

In reply to Joe Barlow:

I don't think Hammer will be dry.

In reply to Joe Barlow:

Hammer has a pretty slow drying wet streak that can make the 3rd pitch pretty tricky/interesting! Should be able to see it from the foot of the crag though.
