Still dirty and needing a little loving care with a mallet but as the vultures are circling......
Pitch 3 anchors not in place, stick your fingers in the holes or use the bloody big tree. Walk off right to the top of The Very Easy Route to finish.
If you have to touch new rock and jump on it, bring a brush and contribute to the cleaning effort.
And you will have to come back and do the top pitch when I’ve glued the metal in.
