Seven Seas 

Has this ever been led?

To answer my own question, it now has at least one lead but it seems like a route that has been soloed as well. Ball Nutz and small cams were key. I started on the arete (completely avoiding Everleigh Club) and worked up into the incuts on the face, threw for a good sloper and then used the good holds on the arete to the top. Later in the day I was working the face between POW and Seven Seas and found that the upper face after the lip climbed well, so I re-led the bottom half of SS and then moved left to the middle of the face. Protected fairly well with a #0 TCU. Same grade for both versions, 5.11a R.

Mark another one off Rhoads. How many unled leads left?

Nice job! I dont know if it has been led or soloed.I thnik it may be a first.How about Fibula crack or new light waves for leads.I looked at them a long time ago and might be worth checking out.Just be careful.The ground is always one bad placement away.I am psyched to see the DL legacy of hard leading being continued.

Thanks Rich, that means alot coming from a hardman such as yourself. As for the next leads...Shhh...you're giving the tick list away!

I would like to add that I think the face between POW and SS is a possible 5.13. Pulling the lip directly will be stiff! I will add the route on MP.

Nice work Rhoads! You're ticking them off.

Rich, I led Fibula Crack a couple years ago, using the "within reach" rule. Guess I figured it was probably led before that though. Fun route, but Rhoads probably couldn't do it!
