Lew's Leap Grade

If Lew's Leap is 5a, Twin Scoops is about 4b. I think Twein Scoops is only just 5a and Lew's is well into the 5b range Do you find this valuable?

Point taken. I think that starting move becomes easy once youve done it a couple of times. The first time I got to the top I remember thinking it was a horror show but I got used to it. Ill upgrade it but IMO Twin Scoops is 5a. I remember finding the mantleshelves awkward and the lack of footholds on the traverse quite draining on strength when I did it a while back. Do you find this valuable?

I normally use Twin Scoops as a descent. Woldn't dram of trying that with Lew's. I find the reach up to the beehive quite hard as wekll as the start! Do you find this valuable?
