The step up into the groove was polished and had very little for the feet, that being said, was very protectable by the thread below

A polished start and little protection for first 10 meters, but nice.

Easier than it looks with some interest in the upper groove as well.

Much nicer than routes around it because it isn't polished, best finish is straight up the groove above - HVS?

Start is a bit committing so pre-placed a couple of nuts 2m up to ensure I didn't land on my belayer.
