How does Littlejohn keep unearthing classics in 2014?

More welcome ...

Another one of his from 2012 at the same grade which sounds good is The Serpent King at Vellan Head on the Lizard (no info online, but it’s in the recent CC definitive guide).  I’ve not done it, but it’s on the list.

Have you been to check out Lord of the Prawns at all?


I went with the intention of trying it a couple of years ago, but there was too much swell running to be able to get to the bottom of the route.  From what I could see from peering over the top of the cliff it looked like an excellent wall.

A friend has top-roped it and said the climbing was steady enough for the grade and that they thought the gear would be adequate.

Another one that’s on the list!  Although less likely as this is now well over 2 hours away, compared to 50 minutes to the Lizard.

Come back aim - Bishop in April with 36C. Fingers crossed it happens...

Are you road tripping it?
Probably not / road trip from nearest airport

Reno is easiest drive.

Or Mammoth Lakes if traveling before April :)
