One fine onsight
I found the toughest part of the lead was getting good gear at the roof without burning up some of my bigger cams for higher up, all the while not being able to put all my weight on my feet to suss it out. I ended up with two cams equalized at the lip of the roof for my first pieces and then cruised on. The actual crux moves where in the middle in the short vertical section. A couple of moves and it's over. Placed a #5 at the top to protect the offwidth which was still fairly easy climbing. I felt it was a solid climb to onsight though.
