I don’t think conditions are any worse. Kilnsey is wet most the time. Malham is boiling a lot of the time. LPT hardly seeps. Main thing is the tides which is a pain if not local. And not great when humid but that goes for most the sport crags.New 9a+ there for him too if he wanted it. Great rock, independent line, tiny crimps, got his name all over it.Has to keep the name though.

@Steven Mcclure Apparently theres a potentail new 9a+ at LPT for you to do if you wanted it. Great rock, independent line, tiny crimps. Do you know about it? Interested?
9a+ at LPT... make that 9b+ for effort (conditions/distance/tides). So might be pushing it for me. But could be worth a look. Must be squeezed in though, don't remember many gaps...
How tidal is lpt? I've never got tides as an excuse, they're 100% predictable after all. It's only if the window is really short it should be a serious barrier no?
it's intriguing to know why that top section didn't go.
Are there any holds on the direct finish?
I rapped down it years ago. There aren't any...
Will, if it was possible then you really think that Caley protagonists such as Manson, Clifford, Birch, Peckitt would have missed it out???Having said that, with modern ability to do massive dynos from undercuts. Mmm...
Well putting the pieces togther, he said he didn't do a lot of bouldering and it wasn't a focus, it's high, hard and if he fell off he'd have missed pads by at least five years.It's also worth noting that back in the late 1990s pads were 80cm square and about 5cm thick and you owned one, if your mates had one too you were lucky.
