Two more dogs, closest I've ever been to finishing it, wasted so much energy on the 5th clip I had nothing left for the final couple of moves, but I know what to do about that now. I think this will go next session. Doesn't hurt to make a rash prediction once in a while.

One fall, going up to the undercling, and another sort of fall when a draw on my harness sneakily clipped itself to the draw on the bolt below the mantle as I climbed past, which stopped me in my tracks.
