The Death Star 8c Lead | worked 13th May 2016

Climbed super direct to the tufa, but didn't match the slot - instead I used the slot as a LH sidepull and did a massive move to the next crimp with my right hand before going to the mono with my left. Same holds as the original sequence but in a different order! It didn't feel very eliminate to me like this, just climbing the line of bolts without traversing onto the 7c. Still squeezed in, but really good moves. French 8a+ to an ok rest then Font 7B to the top.
