Title: Leopold, Steall Hut
Post by: John Aisthorpe on April 24, 2021, 07:36:28 pm: Hi, first post here. Had a quick go on Leopold today. Going back tomorrow. Does anyone have beta for kneebar and crux. Didn't find a good sequence with nice clipping positions.

Thanks.

I'll ask around and see if anyone knows.

Post by: John Aisthorpe on May 17, 2021, 05:24:52 pm: Yes. There is another clip of Dave on EpicTV too (https://youtu.be/gLfNPKR2yuE?t=128 (https://youtu.be/gLfNPKR2yuE?t=128)) but both of these cut out the kneebar and majority of the crux section. So hopefully my clip will come in handy the next time someone is searching for beta.

Post by: John Aisthorpe on May 17, 2021, 09:38:53 pm: No, I need to go back and finish it off. I'll send you a message. I'm based in Kincraig. Keen for several of the other routes too. There is a good handful of people going atm.

Post by: Fultonius on April 29, 2022, 11:04:26 pm: Just got on this for the first time today - man that's burly! Didn't get the crux, but figured out most of the rest of it. I was struggling to get out of the knee bar low down and then "release" into the next section.
