Made it on the second proper attempt ground-up. Tough start without protection, and so down climbed this on the first attempt as didn't have any feeling in my fingers and wasn't feeling confident enough to match hands on the lay back to move right across the crack.

What a climb. Left my chalk behind on purpose to force discomfort - that was probably an unwise choice for leading P2. super exposed feel. |

Unusual route where you learn how to down climb a flake, protect a seconder on a traverse, and setup a very distant anchor for the 2nd belay!
