Felltimber - The Dairy

 

The following 2 new routes are on the wall to the right of the boulder problem "Sexy Mexican Milking Maids". 

 

NB: It's possible that Red Flag has been climbed as far as the left hand ledge (~4mtrs) as a boulder problem.

 

Red Flag 8m 20

Climbs the steep face on sharp crimps.  Follow the shallow crack/seam to the slab, then traverse right to join Bullfighter at the overlap. Finish as for Bullfighter.  Use Bullfighter's FHs.  Tree Belay

* Bullfighter 8m 16

A superb short blast up the obvious steep arete to the right of Red Flag, starting on the ground.  Follow the arete (2FH) to the overlap and slab it out (1FH) to the top.  Tree belay.

New Problem at Felltimber - Citadel

 

Behind the boulder with Pimp Daddy Superstar on it are a couple of long time projects.  I managed to tick one the other day and was wondering if anyone else has done it?  Goes at about V4 and ascends the line to left of the chimney.  The arete to the right of the chimney is close to being sent and I have fully cleaned it and trimmed the tree back to enable an ascent.
