First ascent.
Aidan got tantalisingly close in 2023, dropping one of the last droppable moves. Coming back in 2024 he was able to open the problem from a more obvious starting position a few moves lower than where he was trying it in 2023 which adds a few hard moves. One of the most magical sessions I've ever had. [1] Aidan said it felt harder than Alphane for him.
