Jon and I added a bolt to Lady Dye today, and freed it, so it is now leadable as a mixed route. The first ascensionists cleaned a straight streak down from the anchors, but this is contrived. Instead, climb up past the bolt and then follow the arching crack to the anchors. This protects well, and is fun climbing. Also, we think it should be downgraded from 11d to 11a/b when climbed the natural way.

I did a direct version straight up into the crack a few years ago I recorded it at the time as a variation I think. It was about 12a.

The way we climbed it goes straight up into the crack, it just follows the path of least resistance. Did you climb it to the left of the left facing flakes?
