Been there today and unsurprisingly its bone dry, however the medium sized ladder has gone! The small and 2 larger ladders are there but both of which making trying Colon Power very awkward...

Anyone been in the last few days? I'm guessing there will be some wetness given the rain we've had in the last week, but maybe there was a special Longridge micro climate and it's bone dry. Was thinking I might end up there one day this weekend, most likely Sunday.

Amazingly dry tonight, a little bit of seepage beneath the (no longer) wobbly block, the footholds beneath Bend, and in the high break, but other than that, bone.

Any idea how Longridge will be on Friday evening?

Any update? The weather maps have it looking pretty wet? Right now forecast is for less rain on Saturday. Will it be worth it?

I think you should be ok, unless its solid rain for a couple of days. Been pretty dry at the moment.

Generally in good nick yesterday, just the odd minor bit of seepage here and there.

I've recently come across a few other good sit starts (both easy and hard) which are not on the Wiki or previous topo, so I've now updated the PDF to include these:

How much rain was there on Sunday? Does anyone know if it's still in good nick?

Thanks.

It's been holding out pretty well, even after all the rain. Top break was quite wet on Saturday, plus the odd other wet patch, but nothing to stop you having a good session. My guess would be that it's fine, but I should be getting an update later on so I'll post up if I do (or Serpico will if he beats me to it).

89% dry today though I drove back through some heavey rain so if yo go there and find it's actaully only 88% dry or less, this will be why.

Which 11/12 % was wet? May try and head over tomorrow, weather permitting.

There was just the odd damp patch so if you were just looking for a work out then there is loads (most things) to go at. Just the most stubborn bits are staying wet. The reaosn I am being so circumspect is because I always find it hard to tell with C y L whats dry and what's not until you pull on. If you are after somewhere closer to home I was at Pex last night and that was dry.............

I'll be there tomorrow. 88% dry steepness is better than 100% dry slabbyness.

More like 93% dryness tonight, but the impending rain may reduce that figure somewhat...

Been to cyl today, the top break is wet in sections (like above Big Marine and Push to Prolapse) but generally the holds at normal height for the traverse are dry. Fertile Delta area is wet (as per norm) but generally worth the trip. Reckon it will improve over the next few days before the rain come thurs/fri.

Amazingly dry, and completely midge free this evening. There's some wet footholds beneath the stable block, and beneath BOTR, and one wet-ish looking hold in the high break, but I think the full traverse is probably dry enough to do.
