UKC

Bagged my first proper lead on all pitches of Middlefell Buttress in Langdale. Thanks to Gav and the couple i held up with my bumbling and fumbling.

My point is - first proper lead on a multi-pitch - yay! Done some other leads but this was a true first.

My other point is, I've now done (seconded) C Ordinary (Dow), Corvus (Raven Crag), Middlefell B, Langdale, Upper Scout (route 1 & 2). Any reccomendations for long mountain routes around the D/VD mark in the lakes. Bowfell Butress may be an obvious, but any other "hidden" classics. Opinions greatly recevied.
Thanks.

A few other long routes to go at:

Grooved Arete on Pikes Crag Wasdale
Needle Ridge and Arrowhead ridge Direct on the Napes are both VD and nice long routes. (Great Gable)
Cooks Tour isn't bad on Pavey, slightly scrappy but worth doing.
Giants Crawl on Dow Crag
One route that felt more like HVD but was a great route is Arete, Chimney and crack on Dow Crag.

In reply to Conan:
hmmm, grooved arete on pikes looks awesome. Needle ridge's been on the list for a while now.

Cheers for suggest

In reply to nightmonkeyuk:

Arete chimney and crack is mild severe isn't it?

Ukc says severe, but the guide book says mild severe

In reply to nightmonkeyuk:

Oliversons variation and Lyons Crawl on Gimmer should be OK but exposed. Rake end chimney on Pavey Ark

Why not on White Gill,VD or even Hollin Groove Severe if feeling good after other routes.

Realise your asking for long routes. However, recommend Little Cham in Borrowdale as this was my first multi pitch lead, leading on every pitch. Congrats and enjoy.
