Slabby at the top
Good route. Fifth clip was the hardest for me (awkwardly clipped with left hand while manteling with right). The slab at the top was sketchy, so I went way left to the crack. Sustained fun route

meh
Nothing to write home about. The bottom isn't harder than the rest, but a piece is probably a really good idea.
