Technical cave wrestling at its finest. 2nd ascent after Said in 2011? Tried it a few days in 2020, but was at my limit then and I struggled with finding good beta for the upper cruxes. Was very close to do it in 2021 after two or three sessions of beta refinement, but then the season ended. This autumn I needed to refresh the microbeta yet again, but once I knew all the tricks it felt like I had some margin even in a not great sport climbing shape after bouldering whole last season and very little climbing during the summer. I think it could be 8c with modern kneebar-tactics but it is also a style I am very proficient at, so I will spare my grade opinion for now and see what others' think. I am sure it will not take another 10 years for it to get repeated.
