First climb of the year, first multi-pitch, first Trad in a while. On blind section, just needed to arrange feet, push up on the legs, keep going whilst getting feet higher and reach for the relevant hand holds.
In other words: stop fannying about!
Otherwise, well done!

Great climb but had to rest on gear at one point. My 5th VS and I was surprised by how sustained the difficulties were! Would do it again. My partner wouldn't try to second it, so I set up an abseil by the tree at the top of the crack and rapped down to retrieve my gear.
