Check access before travelling. Current access and seasonal restrictions. A good weather score does not mean the crag is open. Restrictions are not checked live here.

Scores compare weather suitability for climbing, not safety or guaranteed dry rock. The daily score averages the represented sectors; check their details below. How climbing scores work.

Use it as a starting signal

Granite still needs an on-arrival check.

Generally grippy when dry and often still positive when damp, but wet slabs, lichen, polish and drainage lines can remain slippery. Broad crag-level rock context; individual sectors and routes may cross different rock, polish, lichen, superficial deposits or seepage.

Rain is model-grid precipitation, including any snow as water equivalent; nearby crags can share it. Aspect and terrain refine wind and drying, not cliff-by-cliff rainfall or rain shadows.

Crag drying and sheltered-wind estimates have not yet been validated against crag-level observations. Published summit checks are not a validation of low crags, woodland or individual belays.

The forecast combines recent and expected rain with broad drying, humidity, dew and wind signals. The climb and open ground above the crag are treated separately where the mapped face gives useful shelter context.

The granite tors have routes on different sides. The representative point describes exposed tor-level weather, not individual route shelter or face sunshine. Forecast-grid weather and representative sector geometry only. Check live access information and touch-test the rock before climbing.
