Ascents of Fed to the Lions

Struggled with the crux, nice to climb the pockety 17, after the crux, jugs to the chains

Second go

Cruxy but not too sandy.

Sensational climb, nearly three stars, definitely two, I took the blower up with me to silence the critics, and despite my best efforts found bugger all sand to blow off. Climbs best to skip the slab bolt (redpoint crux). Then Blast through to the victory jugs

New beta, now an even cooler sequence!

Great route top section was clean, tricky crux couldn’t quite nail it next trip! Loved it

The start is easy and pleasant, and the boulder-problem crux is quite improbable and not too hard (though very sharp: I circumcised a finger on a key hold), but everything above it is a disintegrating sandpit. Bailed after the crux, when I got sick of eating sand (literally).

FFA. The boulder problem is awesome, but it's a bit sandy up high. Ridiculously steep.
