Chris Davies got up early this morning and climbed the sds line directly through the crux section of Lotus. 3 hard moves - the first being the hardest - starting with hands on poor holds (RH: key foothold on Lotus, LH: small stuff, feet in 'bicycle' position) at the lip of the roof. Pull up to good edge (LH), then right to the 'piano' hold, then, instead of matching, pull directly through the steepness.

The desperate low start from the back of the roof remains unclimbed.
