Beefus, it's got cool moves, great problem.  Do it (with a couple of mats and a spotter).
I could maybe get there tomorrow for an hour if I finish early.  When will you be there?

3. The extra height definitely makes you pull a bit harder. I wouldn't like to take the feet first, face down swing-plummet  that I did previously from the final jug now.

not selling it!

It's a matter of holding your nerve: you hit the top and if your feet come off you start to swing into the horizontal, it's all OK as long as you maintain contact with the final flat, sandy hold. When I came off I reckon I came to rest about 15'+ from the base of the crag.
I think it'd be OK now as long as the bathroom window's open in the chalet behind you.

although I've still not nailed the jug.

The jug as in the one after the crimps? So still the crux to come then  ;)

No, the finishing "jug"/flatty.  Don't make me hurt you :lol:

The number of times I fell off that last move, I should really have done it by now.  I feel embarrassed.  Damn you, Lincoln, damn you...............

Pretty good this evening! Added a couple of starts to a few of the problems which became redundent when the ground got lowered. One is still a project. And it has Nik's name all over it. Small holds and face climbing. I reckon its going to be hardish. At least 7b+. The other one which i can't remember is V5 if your 5'10 or harder if your shorter. Both these are at far end and pretty obvious at the moment. The harder one i think is problem 71. Serpico will know better....?

Me and Ryan did this today, absolutely mint conditions. So Orifice Of Faeces now re-done with current ground level at 7a+, or 7b if your smaller than 5'10. (Ish) Really good, even the bolton Albratross thought so.

Repeated Delta Force also, which is probably very soft at 7c.

There is a really good bouldering circuiit developing now in the mid 7's.

A note about Longridge worth mentioning. I was discussing this with someone the other day and we both agreed that since the wall has been taken down the crag is drier a day earlier after rain than it used to be.

Cold and sunny here, but it rained yesterday so I think you'd be lucky to have a dry crag, it was seeping last week.

Piss wet at the moment.
If it stays dry from now you may get some stuff done on Saturday.
