Awesome, Chamonix style climbing. Techy traverse followed by great gear and finger jams in the corner. Cam placements: Red #1 and yellow #2 in the corner, then green #0.75 to protect the mantle onto the ledge. Broke a hold on the onsight attempt and came off, sadly. #2ndGo

Went from the base of the crag and continued up past the ledge clipping the extra bolt to top out proper. Roughly 30m and feels like a 22 doing it this way.

Managed to get it done second shot. This line serves up stonking stemming stances from bottom to top, with a bit of power and spice thrown in. Would be perfect I daresay once the holds (which to be fair are only 10 years old) clean up.

Although the moves off the ledge through to the 3rd bolt are interesting, this route is marred by the fact that it is quite contrived, especially the top half where it would be silly to avoid the ledges out left. Served as a warmup in any case.
