Struggled and gave it all I've got, but my reach proved to be too short.

That looks nails for HS!

Yes, the direct start is something like V2 6a. After that it's a mid HS I'd say. The approach is from the traverse on the left. No room for your feet so you traverse like monkey till you get to the place above the blankish walk on the picture. Brilliant route.

I took the picture and sent it to Georgi, the copyright is mine although I am happy for it to be used on UKC. I also shot some video of the hand traverse start, which may appear elsewhere.
