I could do the 6a bit - it's the E6 part that would be way beyond my warm happy zone.

After the other climbs on sunset slab confidence drove me to this. With my cloak of invinsibility I scuttled on up. There would have been some gripping moves well above the gear, except there was nothing to grip onto. Slopey smeary stuff does return to normality as ground-fall height is reached. At the top, my cloak was in tatters so time to return to the 'day job' of the lower grades.

RP attempt. Before I could place gear -- thought I may as well solo it. Foot slid about on some ball-bearings and I bottled it!
