I think it's more accurate to say that your hands produce more sweat when its warm and this makes climbing more difficult due to reduced friction. This is especially noticable on gritstone where the holds tend to be more rounded than on other rock types, and so friction is more critical to using the holds effectively.

I would also like to add that for the climbs us mere mortals shag slightly sweaty gitstone/ hands doesn't really make a difference. I did Brown's eliminate on a hot day in the sun and it made absolutely no difference. If I were climbing E7 slabs then I probably would notice a difference. Also its fine for jamming cracks

True Gear sec (as so not to get your name changed to MILF-Hunter).
But I think in actual fact the gritstone does get 'sweaty' in the heat (often occuring during the summer months). This is because Britain has an abundance of water - a fact demonstrated by the country's lush green foliage. This water, when hot, evaporates causing the air to become more humid which condenses on the slighty cooler rock giving the gritstone a sweaty feel.

I think it's pretty obvious that my first point was me poking fun at the British weather in a very remotely humorous way... not being pedantic.

Also, Harry, I think you're making a (fairly obvious) supplementary point

Sincerely
Captain Common Sense

After you've given yourself a medal, let me know what it was like when you did it in cooler conditions, and how cool these conditions were.

Not that you like name dropping or anything.......

What is Brown's Eliminate?

HELL YES! Count me in for that one!

Also, I have block booked two weeks around the jubliee bank holidays to make the most of my holiday time. I might be able to tack on an extra 3rd week if I'm invited to somewhere exciting during this period.

I was going to suggest EuroTrip III (Revenge of the Slab)?

Staring Jake Loge as Chewbarker & Mr E as Vader (mostly due to the horrifying snoring!).

Feel free to shotgun being the blue elephant (Max Rebo)!

Anyhow. Let me know if anybody has things planned around that time.

Piss off my lovely summer thread nob'eds.

Lol love the responses. All I was trying to say was that I did a lot of gritstone climbing over summer and that I never had a issue with the heat. its amazing stuff!

I've found it. (Phil) Brown's Eliminate, http://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/c.php?i=55681
Must be talking about this one.
