Longridge almost completely bone today with the only seepage being the thin break under Bend.
Also congrats to Probes who I hear has just done the full traverse :thumbsup:

Good effort Paul, glad you got it done.
It seems it's gonna sheet down from now on.

 :beer2: Cheers everyone. That was a biggy for me, so am pretty chuffed, a bit of a life long ambition, still not really sunk in. Hopefully once the hangover goes it might.

Has someone pinched Jordans ladder? The old big one that has been around for a while? The small hand made one is still there but the other seems to have disapeared?

Pretty much totally dry today, just felt very greasy this morning.  May be better when cooler.

  May be better when cooler.

Definitely cooler today, crag was ~80% dry with only minor seepage mostly at the very base of the crag and occasional spots in the high break. There's a lot of melt water coming off the top but mostly this is just an inconvenience (wet mats/face full of ice water) rather than affecting the routes.

Had about another 3 inches of snow here, the roads around us are horrendous.  I'm not even sure I'd get to CyL.   :lol:

Mostly dry and very grippy today. Some seepage - mostly in the high break. All the traverses were dry and the big traverse was probably do-able (with maybe a couple of wet holds in the high break).

I was there today, it was in awesome nick. It was a lot less seepy than in my post of 31stDec' and that was still mostly dry, I don't think there's quite as much snow on top either so I reckon it'll be good for a while longer yet.
It's certainly faring better than some of the 'holiday' homes - the weight of snow avalanching down those big, steep pitched roofs has ripped at least one gutter off.

Truth be told - I was mostly chatting.
We should have a secret handshake for times like that.
