Fantastic climbing, not as difficult as Porky but a fun hand traverse leads to some beautiful footwork to get around the corner. Didn’t extend the q’draws long enough at the start of the pitch so increased friction. Struggled around the corner on delicate moves to clip the draw properly and took a long time to get it to a point where I was happy I hadn’t back clipped. In reflection the first time I had it right, but the cats dyneema meant it had twisted. If I’d climbed up it would have been fine. Steep moves to the top, equalised 4 pieces of gear and belayed off an Italian hitch
