so I'm not sure how I'm climbing. 7b+??

So that's hard 7c/soft 7c+ ?

[Serpico]

Pretty well all dry today, just a bit of seepage around the footholds on Bend.

[squeek]

Good conditions yesterday, most things dry little bit of seepage, but on sections that aren't really used.  The full traverse is doable, as a couple of people demonstrated.

Who? and which way: L-R or R-L? I've put off trying the full traverse for years, and now it's more highball I've pretty well written it off completely.
Going to Longridge this afternoon for a sess'.

If you see a lanky twat say hello.

L-R, Vickers who did it twice and Jee who did it for the first time, which was a good effort, shame I turned up too late to see it.

Jee? I was told it was Adam Dewhurst, not Adam Jeewooth!  Good effort by the lad. Anyone know if Adam Dewhurst's done it as well by any coincidence?

[Adam Lincoln]

Don't think Adam is climbing much nowadays....

On a side note, Longridge in pretty god nick this eve.

[GCW]

Ah, the misinformation machine is on form.  That's what happens when you hear things 3rd hand.

Adam, is the place dry?  Likely to be something in condition if there's showers the next couple of days?  Was thinking about going on Thursday.

[Adam Lincoln]

Tough one. Maybe if only light showers. Had a heavy down pour today for 5 mins but stopped. Ground not too muddy.

[GCW]

Cheers.  It's 20 minutes drive so I'll probably have a look anyway.  Unless it's bombing it down.

[squeek]

Pretty wet this evening after the heavy rain this morning.  some things doable, but dripping off the top of most of it.

[squeek]

Brilliant conditions this evening, no seepage, everything dry, holds reasonably cool and dry because of a breeze.  Traverse done again.

Let me guess..... Gaz?

No Vickers, sorry should have made it clear it wasn't somebody who hadn't done it before, I was just stating it so that people would know it was doable.

[Serpico]

Although not mentioned in the Climber article, Gaz has done the traverse. I think Vickers just finds the traverse easier than walking from one end of the crag to the other.

[Adam Lincoln]

Probably head down this eve. Ill no doubt be reporting back with perfect conditions.

[squeek]

Perfect conditions last night, everything dry, in the shade and cool.

Although not mentioned in the Climber article, Gaz has done the traverse.

Gaz hasn't done the full traverse, I asked him this weekend.

As of this evening, he has. First time.

BTW, totally mint tonight. In fact a little cold!

[squeek]

indeed, i've just noticed the same thing and came to post it.

[Adam Lincoln]

He almost did it right to left as well.

[Serpico]

That would explain the txt he's just sent me.
Doesn't explain why I was not only convinced he did it 3yrs ago, but also convinced I'd watched him do it

[GCW]

Getting old, Serps

And, nice one Mr Parry.   

[Andy F]

Anyone know of a downloadable topo anywhere as I'm heading up tonight and the grey cells can't remember the problems.

Nice one gaz on the traverse, how far did he get right to left?
