Big sea: up to 2.6 m today. A big sea can reach walls that are not marked tidal. Check the sea and the weather on the day before you commit to a route.
Walls
How sure
Tomorrow
Main face: The models differ by just over 2 points at 10:00. The best window is not affected.
Seven Dwarves: The models differ by up to 3 points at 10:00. The best window is not affected.
