This route needs an R rating, you can get two pieces of gear down low and then your next placement isn't until well above ground fall potential. The moves would feel easy enough on a top rope, but with the weight of your trad gear it felt super sketch.

Third pitch was brutal! I am not sure if I read the beta incorrectly at the crux but it seemed you needed to go way left before traversing back right to clip. A bit sketched out as the fall would have involved a decent swing.
