Yet, I see you use a number of holds that are off (have no tape on them at all). In the gyms I've been to, you are not allowed to use holds that have no tape on them for any route. Is there some reason these holds were on for this particular climb? Nice job, nevertheless! PS > Admit it, you started this thread to brag.  As for the route, if you pause the video at the beginning, it says "smearing is on". Meaning, I can use the wall to press my hands and feet against when there are no holds available. With that in mind, any of the holds I did use were definitely marked yellow.
I wasn't talking about the smearing, I was talking about the last two handholds that you used on that wall on the right. (These would be the third then fourth holds you grabbed with your right hand on that wall.) This would be 1) the one you used the drop-knee on, then 2) the last one, which you used both as a handhold and a foothold. I still can't spot any yellow tape around either of these holds. Maybe it's the camera angle, or the light, or maybe the tape is above the holds instead of underneath them where they usually are.
Anyways, impressive progress in such a short period of time.
