On the first session I used silly beta as I'm new to bouloering, so it seemed a lot more difficult. Sent first try today. Good movement on this one. Quite hard on the hands. Seemed to easy for 5C.

I thought the climbing felt familiar, I've done it before. The last pitch is very run-out. Good for the mind. Nice to take the girls out. Last time Kevin lead the serious pitch.

19 Jam Up and Jelly Tight - with Janek
1 18 18 Trad lead by Fernand Sieber

Bypassed 3m of committing moves above the first piece of pro, up Crackle on the right side instead. Falling there would not be ideal.

2 16 24 Second lead by Janek

Nice slabby face.

3 16 24 Trad lead by Fernand Sieber

A fun airy pitch, the rock is not very happy though.

4 19 12 Second lead by Janek

One move wonder, difficult jam. Nice crack climbing but very short.

Trad 78m Good
Fernand Sieber
Good day on the hill, don't think it deserves the five stars of the book though.

If I climb it again, I'd link p1 with p2 and p3 with p4.

19 Hard Fin Fiesta — 2 attempts - with Aimée Chiat Hook Trad 35m Classic
Cormac Tooze
What a great route. I have been putting it off as it looks hard. I've climbed the line to the left which was hard, so I thought this would be too. It is challenging in quite a few places and does not let up till the end.

Has to rate as one of the best lines on Lion's Head.

22 Blaze of Glory Sport 14m, 5 Very Good
Alta Lourette
This is actually such a beautiful route! Sketchy between draw one and two as mini-crux can throw you to the ground, but all the holds are there. The boulder problem at the top is still hard, but I got it first go today. I would climb this more often if it wasn’t for that sting in the tail.

Fernand Sieber
Perfect trad day of good climbing through adventurous terrain. P1 and P2 could easily be combined. Found the crux pretty easy for the grade.

The exit is confusing, don't try to follow the drawn line on the book straight up the dark face, it looks definitely harder than grade 10. We scrambled diagonally left instead towards the abseil anchors.

27 Hard The Germans Sport 5 Very Good
David
First Ascent post break? Feels like solid 27 (easy 28) to me but needs consensus.

You get a great rest before the crux.

My beta is RH crimp, LF gaston to the undercling; right kneebar, bump RH to crimp then change left hand to lower undercling bring right hand to where left was and set up feet for a big move to the left hand side pull jug (cut feet and high left foot). RH to crimp, bump left hand up and get a left kneebar; RH to small gaston. LH low crimp switch feet and then get the jug above the chains.

For the amateurs of traverses! What a spectacular line. Tons of exposure. None of the pitches is a give away. Would be five stars if the rock quality was superior. We got spanked, tricky route finding at times.

Borrow your friends micros for this one! Splendid face climbing, looks blank from the bottom but the holds are there where needed. Pros are just spaced and thin enough to keep the adrenaline flowing. We kept the top crux move for next time, hence grade 19.

Sneaky crux at the top which we couldn’t figure out and had to bail on last bolt before the chains. Drew told us afterwards about a hidden hold so I guess we’ll have to go back for it 😝

Who comes up with these grades? 🤪😂 Starts with a hectic roof (we preclipped the 2nd draw for safety). Couldn’t figure out how to do it and pulled through, then the route eases up. Didn’t come to project this so didn’t bother doing it again 😆
