Just read through the thread from 2016... https://www.ukclimbing.com/forums/rock_talk/shelterstone_central_slabs_e7+-... 

Does anyone know if lines like Aphrodite, Sweet Granite Kiss, Realm of the Senses, L'Elsir d'Amore, Athene or Icon of Lust has seen any ascents since the posting of that thread.

Cheers

I think a team was in there the year before last (maybe?) and was at least having a play on Icon and maybe did Realm of the Senses, but I can't remember exactly what they did and didn't do.

Some quality detailed info for you there.

Any information is appreciated...

Murdo Jameson has certainly done the three E7s from the 90s in recent years. All three of them are perfectly doable ground up by anyone climbing at the grade: The runout section of Aphrodite above where it splits from Run of the Arrow is not hard, just terrifying; Realm of the Senses is well protected really but with really hard moves and L'Elisir d'Amore has tricky sections between rests, if you find the runner behind the foothold you're going to survive the fall (cracks get silted up every winter so always take a nut key on the lead!). 

Worth saying that Realm was origionally meant to go via the Icon of Lust slab, but I couldn't do the move over the overlap (I had top roped the slab section fine, but it is outrageous). 

Jules's Icon of Lust lead is a stand out first ascent in British terms for boldness (just a few moves pre practiced) and has been kept out of the limelight because he's just too modest for his own good!

Brilliant information!!

Cheers Rick, and respect to you for putting up some of these very impressive and spooky routes
