Big sea: up to 2.7 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 and Inland Wall of Scimitar Ridge: The models differ by up to 4 points at times between 11:00 and 17:00. This touches the best window.
Morrison’s Slabs: The models differ by up to 3 points at times between 11:00 and 16:00. This touches the best window.
