Description 

While not a crag classic, I found S'Blended to be a thought-provoking, challenging route. After scrambling to the base of the route, a brutal start complete with rope tangle leads to wonderfully delicate face climbing.

The highlight for me was unlocking a sequence involving foot smearing towards a barely sufficient undercling followed by a desperate throw.

Location 

Located between Hobbit In A Blender and Grand Opening, S'Blended starts with a third class scramble past a shrub to the first bolt.

The route is fairly camouflaged with lichen.
