Probably the best route on Lion's Head that goes straight to the top. P1 is amazing and P2 is one of the best at the grade. I would say P3 should be bumped to grade 16.

Seconded this and the climbing felt pretty easy for an 18. Chimney on trad lead would have felt exciting though. One to do in future
	19	★★★ Beware the Dark Horse - with rene Gould marc bromhall	Trad 120m	Lion's Head	★★★ Mega Classic	Donny Brovado	Fri 10th Jun 2022
	19 ~18	★★★ Beware the Dark Horse	Trad 120m	Lion's Head	★★★ Mega Classic	Thomas Horn	Thu 12th Jan 2023
An amazing route, following a series of overhangs with some interesting crack climbing. I saw a mouse living inside one of the rails near the top, which gave me a big fright at first! I also learned the importance of tying a stopper knot on your chalk bag, after mine nearly fell off. This route was opened at grade 18, it feels tricky but fair for the grade. If you struggle to read the route and struggle to find rests or hang around figuring out the gear it would probably feel like a pumpy 19. Beware the loose block after the crux.

	18	★★ Headline '33 Variation - with M. Lamprecht	Trad 45m	Lion's Head	★★ Very Good	Cormac Tooze	Thu 11th Mar 2021
I need to read RD's correctly. Was in a rush before sunset. Harder if you are short.
	15	★ Route by T. Hughes	Trad 80m	Lion's Head	★ Good	Cormac Tooze	Mon 16th Feb 2015
Eish, been climbing too much so felt a little hard, good none the less, one of the better flowing multi-pitch routes on the Lion
	16	★★ Lion's Share	Trad 63m	Lion's Head	★ Good	Cormac Tooze	Sat 23rd Jan 2016
Good climbing, climbs better than it looks.
	17	★ Fighting for a Share - with M. Lamprecht	Trad	Lion's Head	Average	Cormac Tooze	Wed 24th Mar 2021
Opening new lines where other RD's are not detailed, hmmmmm!
	19	★★ Astronaut	Trad 35m	Lion's Head	★★ Very Good	Cormac Tooze	Sat 15th Oct 2011
My first 19 on Trad WooHoo, bomber gear, positive holds and feet, overhanging/ bold; Amazing quality, a must do on this peak!
	18	★★ Naught for Your Comfort	Trad 140m	Lion's Head	★★ Very Good	Cormac Tooze	Sat 5th May 2012
P1- is good and good gear! P2 has a commiting crux with good pro; P3 is very high quality.
	18 20	★★ Cosmonaut	Trad 130m	Lion's Head	★ Good	Cormac Tooze	Wed 28th Nov 2012
Just when u think u wanna head out and climb your first 20 on trad, turns out to be a 18, good fun climb, with good gear in nice exposed postitions.
	16	★★ Juggernaut	Trad 110m	Lion's Head	★ Good	Cormac Tooze	Wed 16th Jan 2013
Nice route for beginners.
	21	★★ Night Puff	Trad 30m	Lion's Head	★★ Very Good	Cormac Tooze	Wed 27th Feb 2013
Yay first 21 on trad, so amped, did Touch and go last night too, all after work. Will be a great route for winter as access is quick. Great single pitch steep climbing on trad, highly worthwhile.
	20	★★ Pride	Trad 58m	Lion's Head	★ Good	Cormac Tooze	Sun 2nd Feb 2014
Yay, took about a year to return, better footwork, knowledge of gear, endurance and strength, P2 is very excellent, albeit short.
	18	★★ Greyscaling	Trad 35m	Lion's Head	★ Good	Cormac Tooze	Tue 18th Nov 2014
Great climbing if a little scary!
	18	★★★ Cat's Pyjamas (Cat's Pajamas)	Trad 120m	Lion's Head	★★ Very Good	Cormac Tooze	Fri 19th Dec 2014
One of the better long routes on Lion's Head. The crux pitch, P2 is really good. The balance of the pitches do not look inspiring but are all good. Esp P4 Another cool thing is u can climb P2-18 as a single pitch or link-up, and there is a rap point above, so if u are short on time, it makes an excellent pitch on it's own.
	2 11	★ Sunset Crag	Trad 170m	Lion's Head	Crap	Cormac Tooze	Sun 21st Dec 2014
Terrible, grassy, loose blocks, don't bother.
	15	★★★ Clifton Crest	Trad 200m	Lion's Head	★★★ Classic	Cormac Tooze	Wed 24th Dec 2014
Don't bother with the bottom or top pitches, not very good. Pitches from tea cave to top rap point are very good.
	16	★★ Dreadnaught	Trad 110m	Lion's Head	★ Good	Cormac Tooze	Sun 11th Jan 2015
P1-climbs a little awkward, but still nice and challenging, P2-just scrambling, P3- Is really good. P4 is average and short. If you get to this point, I would suggest heading for the rap anchors on the left. The remaining pitches take you right to the top but are average and vegetated.
	22	★★ Simbarama	Trad 30m	Lion's Head	★★ Very Good	Cormac Tooze	Wed 11th Feb 2015
Yay, first 22 on trad! Great route too, committing moves thru & over the roof. Highly recommended.
	18	★★ Kestrel Country Music-Variation	Trad 93m	Lion's Head	★ Good	Cormac Tooze	Sun 8th Mar 2015
1-13; P2-14; P3-13; P4-12; P5-18 I did the variation as seemed a better line. Some good little sections that make you think. Seemed a little soft for 18, but I think my reach made it easier as the 2nd struggled!
	18 17	★★ Wham Bam	Trad 140m	Lion's Head	★ Good	Cormac Tooze	Sat 28th Mar 2015
P3 has a great crux. Most of the pitches are under-graded, so beware. Pitches above P3 are crap!
	15	★★★ Aquanaut	Trad 130m	Lion's Head	★★ Very Good	Cormac Tooze	Wed 4th Nov 2015
Grading seems spot on, although, I found P1 harder than P2, maybe just flash pump. P2 is exceedingly good, just flows so well. P3+4 are good fun with interesting/ testing moves, worth the effort.
	15	★★ Tawny	Trad 100m	Lion's Head	★ Good	Cormac Tooze	Sun 14th Feb 2016
Very good route for people leading this grade-lots of gear placements. P2 is particularly good. Also one of the top 5 routes for toping out at the summit.
	17	★★ My Naut is better than your Naut	Trad 35m	Lion's Head	★ Good	Cormac Tooze	Mon 15th Feb 2016
Pretty fun if not a little contrived. Rock looked a little dodge in one place but otherwise good. Thought the grading was soft, deffo not SA-18
	15 16	★★ Cub's Cuff	Trad 73m	Lion's Head	★ Good	Cormac Tooze	Thu 18th Feb 2016
P1 is rather disapointing, but the rest of the route is pretty good.
	16	★ Naughty But Nice	Trad 72m	Lion's Head	Crap	Cormac Tooze	Wed 24th Feb 2016
Terrible route on bad rock=dangerous. Also top-out is shitty. Can't believe people open this stuff!
	15	★ Mane Lion	Trad 65m	Lion's Head	★ Good	Cormac Tooze	Tue 1st Mar 2016
Very good route, needs a brush though. Lots of crack climbing.
	17 16	★★★ Lame Lion	Trad 110m	Lion's Head	★★ Very Good	Cormac Tooze	Wed 2nd Mar 2016
Has been upgraded in the new book 16-->17, which is apt. Very good climbing all round with excellent cruxes.
	18 19	★★ Lion's Share (Variation)	Trad 63m	Lion's Head	★ Good	Cormac Tooze	Thu 3rd Mar 2016
Better than the standard route. I did not find the crux to be 19, I think because I am tall. Nice crack climbing.
	17	★★★ Black and Weight	Trad 35m	Lion's Head	★★ Very Good	Cormac Tooze	Tue 15th Mar 2016
Suprisingly good climbing.
	19	★★★ Codgernaut	Trad 45m	Lion's Head	★★ Very Good	Cormac Tooze	Tue 10th May 2016
Very good climbing. Both pitches are quite scary in places, but worth it. No OS on this as done P1 before as a 2nd.
	17	★★ Wild Things Run Free	Trad 140m	Lion's Head	★ Good	Cormac Tooze	Sun 11th Sep 2016
P1-3 are very good. P4-5 are crap. Worthwhile doing the first 3.
	21	★★★ Simba Serendipity	Trad 99m	Lion's Head	★★★ Mega Classic	phlip olivier	Sun 3rd Apr 2011
Trad Very cool pitch
	25	★★★ Mane Course	Trad 25m	Lion's Head	★★★ Mega Classic	phlip olivier	Sun 3rd Feb 2013
Trad Best pitch i've done on Lion's Head. Did it on pre-placed gear (not a planned ascent) and technically not a flash as I checked out the moves on the lip while lowering down Pride Breaker.
	24	★★ Pride Breaker	Trad 25m	Lion's Head		phlip olivier	Sun 3rd Feb 2013
#2go Trad Almost onsighted. A big loose block got in the way. Scariest moment as it went trundling down the mountain looking like it'll never stop.

	18	★★★ Cat's Pyjamas	Trad 120m	Lion's Head		Ollie	Sat 7th Aug 2021
Climbed with Josh. Just climbed crux pitch. Got rope drag and had to split crux pitch into two with a mid level hanging belay. Guess it's good to practice building those. Trad
	15	★★★ Clifton Crest - with Emma 5 15 36m	Trad 36m	Lion's Head	★★★ Classic	Ollie	Sat 14th Aug 2021
Climbed Gendarme pitch with Emma. Did my trad course on this route in 2018. Amazing how chilled, relaxed and fun this felt today. Emma had to push but did a great job. Awesome 5 star climbing. Had seconded this before so marked as redpoint.
	19	★★★ Fin Fiesta - with Josh Sowter	Trad 35m	Lion's Head		Ollie	Sat 7th Aug 2021
I found this hard, really complex lead and after the second roof the traverse was way harder than it looked. Very cool route. But high in the grade, maybe a 20.
	15	★★★ Aquanaut - with Josh Sowter 2 15 35m	Trad 35m	Lion's Head		Ollie	Sat 7th Aug 2021
Josh wanted to climb as was his first ever trad climb. Climbed on nuts and two cam as this is what he had back then. I climbed in approach shoes.
	15	★★★ Aquanaut - with Simon 1 14 30m 2 15 35m	Trad 65m	Lion's Head		Ollie	Sat 9th Nov 2019
Second pitch. Felt much easier than expected, first lead with new partner. Was good to have him help with route finding and rope clipping suggestions. Felt like the two ropes makes sense to me now. First time climbing with Simon.
