Barely
Got it second try, but was still very hard! Very interesting sequence.

I guess I didn't find the right beta!
Was a very powerful and out of balance move the way I tried it. Fell at the crux.

Fun climb, 1 move wonder
Nice climb, really a 1 move wonder at the crux. For me, it's a dead point to the upper holds off the horizontal. It's not over, however, till it's over. Fun climb.

One trick move
When I did the on-sight, I did not do the trick move (made it like 11 something) but still managed to get it. On a subsequent lead I found that putting the right foot out right and twisting my body made the reach 10b. Hey, climbs are always as hard as you make them.

A very good climb, softest Gunks .10 I've been on. Followed Jackflash last summer, led clean this time. PM for gear beta or just go get em!
