Very nice. Last move is a little weird though but good. Then soloed to the top.

Not sure if I can quite count this as I don't think I finished it! I made the moves left with the piano fingering, then after several attempts managed to find the sequence that worked for me. Piano play right hand into the pocket till all 4 fingers are in, left hand on the obvious little hold. Left foot onto the worn gritstone (skin missing?) then right foot right up right almost below right hand, bring left foot up similarly slowly. Put as much pressure on right foot (crystals!) and stand up eventually getting the top break within head height, then quickly snach it! Unfortunately I thought this was the end of the problem, and traversed out right onto Monkey wall to finish, the second overlap looked steep but I'm not sure if there are good holds over it. Next time I will make sure I give the upper section a good go.

Bloody excellent :-) It can be done in shorts, no matter what the guide book says! The initial match/finger swap is particularly grim - it seemed like I spent five minutes trying to get two fingers of my right hand in there!
