Tom, Luke, Tesa, Jane and I went climbing at Ely's Peak today! It was pretty wet from very low lake effect clouds. The climbs were pretty wet so we just set up a couple of top ropes and practiced mach lead in wet conditions. A real fun mach lead was Dislocation Overhang, grade 5.6. We really focused on always watching our feet placement. Although the rock was more slippery you could get good solid stances. It's good to practice in all types of conditions as you never now what you will encounter in the mountains. I felt I probably could have done Trad Lead today, but it's probably best to err on the side of caution in wet conditions.
