Stubbs mentioned it elsewhere, but surely worth its own thread -

Super Submarine V12

Yesterday i spent the morning chilling and drinking coffee down at BUK. I was waiting till Longridge came into the shade. About 4pm i headed over with the chaps and after a quick warm up had a great first go falling on the big move in the pic below.

The left hand is utter rubbish and continued to feel crap for the next 30 minutes or so. Then came better conditions, no movement on the hold and Longridges hardest up problem was i the bag. Next to try here will be linking this into Renal Failure a stern 7b+/c eeeeek!!!

effort gaz.
adam jee bagged the 4th ascent of submarine the other day too, now onto the new challenge mate!!

[chris]

what does the original 'submarine' problem get, and where does it start; is it an eliminate?

[chappers]

it is the sit to big marine.
when ryan did it he gave it 8a, then ian did it and said it was more like 7c+. gaz did it, now jee too.
full story on gaz's blog somewhere...
it isnt eliminate.
gaz has just done the even lower start.

[a dense loner]

to be fair to ryan, he was browbeaten into giving it 8a

[chappers]

i included that, in an attempt to try and prove how hard it is. ie a wad like him thinks it was 8a...

[Jim]

also ryan wouldn't know if it was 6b or 16d

It's a good effort by Jee because he's fat and weak, and the only way he gets up anything is by relying on his reach.

So is Craig y Longridge open to the public again?

Popped in to Longridge yesterday to have a look - it was a bit of shock to say the least. The place is a mess compared to what it used to be like. Still, the climbing is still as it was, apart from the ground being a little lower in places.

I can't see what the problem is with climbing because the whole site is almost literally a tip - we won't exactly be making a mess.

I assume you weren't challenge at all?  They never used to be around on Sundays anyway.
Hmmm, may have to look myself.

Were you trying Lifeline Sitter by the way?  There was chalk on that, Dezertion Eliminate and Groundhog SDS.  There may be a few people there this evening, 5/6ish onwards I think.

There was nobody around at Longridge but I literally just popped in to have a look as it was on the way home and didn't climb.

Did manage to climb @ the stones on Saturday but I was shit and went home depressed - it was too hot!
