In the Skin of a Lion – 5.12d

Skaha > Great White

23m / 75ft, 11 bolts

Description:

Just left of Flying Clipper: start by getting on the big ledge. Technical climbing meets a powerful crux sequence near the top. The slopey undercling will let you know the hard stuff started.

Loved and hated this beast. Same number of sessions but more burns and more try hard than wings of steel - despite having good skin. A fantastic climb - is there a Peter Arbic climb that isn’t?!?

Cool boulder problem up top! First of the grade, but likely touch soft given the unsustained nature. Still very good fun. 6 goes

First of the grade! Took about 5 tries over the last two seasons. Great route with fun long moves. Almost blew it clipping the chains, which seems like a right of passage for most on this route.

a blast of a climb! Delicate climbing through a low crux, then punchy sequence climbing through an upper crux

Long reaches (for me) to good crimps and repeat... Another great white classic!
