I am pretty sure I belayed the FA of this a decade ago and declined to do it due to skin and reach. I was obviously more sensible back then. Everything today felt quite spoogy. This took a few more goes than it should have for the first 4 metres. I just kept sliding off the hold at the end of the crux next to the wire placement. It’s really a direct start to Psalm 69

A Mark Moorhead 23, I should have guessed, harder than the 24s I have done in the last few weeks. Very cruxy for 4 metres. I think I sorted short persons beta, but linking the moves would have no margin for error ( let alone trying to place gear). Notes to self: backstep left foot at fridge and match under roof, right hand to slopes, left to quarter pad crimp, left foot in small dish, right half way up corner, and then move foot higher to finally hit a decent hold
