Brilliant climbing all the way, but my effort on this was abysmal. I lost my lead-head after placing a wire in the crucial hold on the crux (10m off the ground), and just couldnt sort it out. One rest at the first crux, then clean to the top with some nice runouts. So much varied climbing in such a long pitch (42m), and all of it stellar. Lots of challenging moves, and 2 distinct cruxes. Amazingly exposed, and absolute classic.
