Anyone been recently? Is the top break dry?

[James Malloch]

Is this likely to be dry tomorrow at all? I'm in the area and wondered if it's worth a look in...

Dunno - but theres a lancashire climbing facebook group

https://www.facebook.com/groups/1566324270279682/

that'll probably have some more up to date news if you post there...

I wouldn't be too hopeful, it's pissed it down solidly for 3 days now.

Is anything dry? Does it seep right across the crag?

All wet according to Probes on the Longridge facebook group. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1481318945516334/?fref=ts

It's not a good crag for the wet season.

Can I get a connies report please? I'm weighing up my options for this weekend.

Haven't been for ages now but it's been properly horrible most days at the office which is ~15 mins away from Longridge.

Anybody been recently and know what it's like?

Debating whether to pop down tomorrow. 

[tomtom]

I have no idea - but the S Lakes lime is pretty decent - so would have thought there wouldn't be too much seepage there...

Or have a look at the Facebook group Lancashire Rock Revival...

this is also up on fb.. Craig y Longridge Appreciation Society

Quite a lot of seepage yesterday, and pretty hard going smeg, but still enough dry to get a work out..

[AdamD]

Thanks guys! I may pop by later or alternatively go and do Westviews new boulder set... 

I'm planning on clearing the 7's this year at Craig Y, so need to start putting some hours in. If only the sun lasted for more than a day!

Longridge is crap for seepage.

If you are looking for Preston-local options there are some decent steep sevens at Stanworth which dry faster.

Just left there. Few wet holds in the break at the top. Was windy and drying

[JDobo]

Anyone been recently or know what the weather has been like there? Thinking of going today.

[mark20]

Anyone know how it's looking? Might be up that way with work on Monday

[Ally Smith]

Very sweaty and greasy earlier in the week.

I expect it will have improved a lot since then, but on Monday evening there was much dampness right of Central Icefall, with wet streaks on many low footholds. High break almost universally wet too.

Posted up on the FB page but no replies yet so if anyone can offer any advice...

Only been to CYL 4-5 times before and its always been dry/not rained for a few days.

Thinking of going tomorrow - but I know it bucketed it down a couple of nights ago, and have been fairly heavy showers since.. anyone with a local crystal ball happen to chance whether or not it'll be worth my trip? Wanting to play on Big Marine + Fertile Delta etc..

I guess what I want to know is roughly how quickly does it start to seep (and roughly how much rain..) and how long it takes to stop seeping/dry out!

[moose]

probably best wait for local advice before committing but for what it's worth, I've found that CYL starts to seep pretty quick and clears fairly fast if there's sun.  Snowmelt could be an ongoing problem.  I would guess you might risk a spoogy Fertile Delta pocket, and seepage at the top hold of Big Marine (not that I've managed to get near it!).

Yeah... thanks Moose. I guess there's probably something dry somewhere there....

Anyone any CYL recommendations in the 7A > 7B range?

[moose]

I'm a pervert traverser myself - sideways shuffling for kicks.  I have always found the up problems nails for the grade - took me repeated sessions to do the Gauntlet and it's meant to be V5ish!  I still can't get near some of the V2/3 dynos to the left (let alone the Vickers eliminate which is meant to be good).  I did like Push to Prolapse and the eliminate what doesn't use the undercut - Motion Vector?  I liked Fertile Delta (but you already know of that) - the sitter is a project of mine as I like the rose move into the pocket.

[tomtom]

Sitter didn't feel too bad - worked it at the end of my last session and got through to the rose move (which felt quite doable when fresh). The dyno was low percentage for me last time so only had one or two efforts on the top (that I've not figured yet)

[tomtom]

All good. The odd seep but nothing getting in the way.

Hoping to make my first visit here on Wednesday. Anyone been this weekend? Is it dry enough?

Was all wet on March 11th, according to the Facebook group. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1481318945516334/?ref=bookmarks
