Crown Royale E11 Lead | worked 2025

The first ascent on trad gear. Connor had previously climbed the route on the bolts but decided to come back and do it on trad gear. This ascent is extremely impressive and makes it one of the hardest trad ascents at the time (alongside routes like Tribe and The Recovery Drink).
