Any one been on it yet this year, is it dry - ish?

 

Who's been on some of the longer routes are they dry ? I did Ultimate 2 weeks ago and it had a few wet pitches low down and the last 10 b pitch had a little seepage.

You would be wise to hold off: from CASBC:

 

"The voluntary peregrine falcon nesting closure at the Chief is usually from March 15 th – July 31 st . The falcons normally nest somewhere in the Dihedrals area. The 2004 closures included Clean Corner, Sports Illustrated, Cloudburst, Sea of Tranquillity, Getting Down in the Brown, Warriors of the Wasteland, Western Dihedral (4 th pitch & above), Negro Lesbian, Crap Crags, Slow Duck, Illusion, Planet Caravan, and Millenium Falcon . Open climbs included Arrowroute, Cleaning the Brain, Dead End Dihedral, Time Passages, Black Dyke, Western Dihedral (to the top of the 3 rd pitch), Rutabaga, Sticky Fingers, Slow Dyke, and Freeway. The 2005 closures will likely be similar – please comply with this until further notice."
