R --> L Had a quick look when it was wet last time I was here. Went first go today in the dry. Will try L --> R next time which I suspect is harder.

Got as far as the last 5 moves maybe on the flash with Joe pointing out stuff. Pulled back on after i fell and finished off the final bit, route grade more appropriate maybe, 6c/6c+??
