Yes the first 6 or so metres of that pitch are quite fierce, aren't they? And very polished! You missed a good cam (2?) placement just below where you put your 2nd wire. Would have relieved the stress a bit.
Nicely climbed :) It brought back memories :) The only thing I'd say is to keep an eye on which direction the gates on your quickdraws are facing. A lot of them were against the rock....and I'd have put my own sling or rope around the tree to belay off....trusting crag tat isn't the best idea. Anyway not meaning to sound like a knob - just a few tips.

Thanks for the tips!
How refreshing to see nuts used, and not cams
Yeah, bring back hob nail boots and hemp ropes!
