Don't think the gear is high enough if you mess up the last reach, but you are only a few metres up.

although I'm happy to have got this, I really should have grown a pair and led this onsight. Will have to lead it next time.

Awesome moves - I thought leading was a better option as the gear seemed good and I don't trust Bamford landings.
