P2 to finish Black Icicle. Good combination, felt fair at E3 6a. Fell at crux after missing hold out right. Clean second try.

Had no guide but thought was doing an E1 5a, things got hard when trying to finish direct and then took my first lead fall! Did it next go after finding out needed to head out right at top!
