.
One thing to watch out - when pulling rope through rap rings pull the last bit rather quickly and away from the wall - there is a hook-like ledge that might trap it if rope is falling too close.

Pumpy but fun.
All the moves are there but the climbing is pumpy and a bit sustained. Milk the sit rest before attacking the crux. Decent view of the lake once you get to the top.
