Took a huge whinger off this years ago, was nice to finally come back and do it. Didn't feel much easier and was definitely fighting the pump near the top. Thought the gear was all really good it just took a bit of hanging around and getting pumped to sort out

23 M1 Dance of Life Clean Sweep Connection Mixed trad 45m, 1
Amazing! Was intending to do dance of life but opted to finish up this instead! Great long pitch that would get 3 stars anywhere else, nothing too hard but was definitely fighting the whole way. With a long stick clip the aid faff isn't too bad and is fine from the ground so don't let it put you off!

Always wanted to lead this after toproping it years ago. The top crack is incredible and suprisingly sustained however the route is definitely let down by the chossy bottom half. Felt fairly sketchy up until the bolt, then glorious fingerlocks to the top!

24 24 R Delirium Tremens Trad 30m Very Good
What a journey! After watching Alex's onsight I opted for toprope inspection before going for the lead. A thin, technical sequence with crazy exposure and a distressing lack of protection. Won't forget that one in a while! The crux is incredible, just a shame the rest of the route is a bit average. Big fall potential but you could maybe be okay with a really good belay.
