No it'll be pretty seepy up there at the mo. High break will be soaked and the normal wet spots will be showing.

Anyone local know if Longridge will be dry by 5pm'ish today? Due to be sunny with a breeze but there has been a lot of rain yesterday and overnight.

I was there last night and yes, it was dry (and very cold, glassy even).

The traverse hasn't seen much attention this year by the looks of it so some bits are a little sandy and even un-chalked.

It's worth pointing out that the sandy horn on the very first bit is now incredibly loose, I can't see it surviving the season. There's no saving it.

Thanks Paul for last weeks reply.

I'm planning on going back today, just concerned re seepage. Does anyone know if Craig-Y is dry following yesterdays drizzle, any info on how long it takes to seep would be appreciated.

Thanks Alex

I went on Tues and it was absolutely fine (a little on the cold side!); it'll be fine today if you go after the shade has arrived.

There’s a FB group Craig Y Longridge appreciation society - that you could try.

My guess (total guess) would be that it’ll be quite seepy.

Thanks for your reply. I'm not on Facebook. I gave it a punt anyway and it's not too bad mostly dry

Mostly pretty good this afternoon. Didn’t get on anything hard but all good on the stuff I was trying!

Anyone been recently? I'm thinking of going tomorrow, but will find an alternative if it's seeping from the recent showers.

I went on Saturday morning and the top band and early footholds were seeping pretty badly. It then rained most of Saturday afternoon.

I think it should be in very good condition as its hardly rained around here in a while and my stone trough/bird bath has all dried up.

Thanks for the heads up, it was mint yesterday.

I finally got on Delta Force though didn't do it. Are the holds circled below all in? I wasn't sure if the pocket was duos for each hand and then jump to the jug or whether you can have pocket for the right hand, a hold out left for the left hand.

There also seems to be a video on Vimeo that I can't watch for some reason. If anybody has a link to a video of it working, it'd be good to see.

Yep, those are all in, plus heal/toe or what ever can be cobbled together out left. Right hand right crimp direct below pocket and roll left over into pocket. Stern for 7c.
That vid is Fertile delta left sitter, v8 a bit keen too, v6/7.

Am I interpreting this correctly as the circled sections are the holds for Delta Force then? So left and right onto the second set of crimps, toe/heel on the spike way out left then roll over with the right into the pocket?

Whenever I've gone to look at this, I've always been trying to start further right.

Yes, that's the concensus last I remember...  but go left into pocket, I think it would be harder to go right, and the little spike out left could be used I guess but I don't think you'll reach the pocket off that. The big jug (start hold to Fertile delta) or something around there seems to be the best way.

Sorry yeah, left into pocket (more fool me for trying to rush a post). Thanks, I'll give it another look next time I'm there!

Thanks for the notes all here.

I couldn't get any sort of heel toe to work so was keeping feet directly beneath me on the ledge edges and ultimately going right hand up to the pocket through swinging my foot out to the right. Managed to make a good mockup on the home board so will give it a good few sessions then revisit I think.

I think this feels pretty stern for 7c by the way no?
