I had been fantasizing about this thing since we'd first looked at it a month ago, and I really wanted to try leading it. We worked on a few moves at the start (the crux), and I finally decided to rope up as it was getting dark. I put in the first nut (a #5 stopper, in case anyone cares), but was too tired after trying it several times to make any progress. Fortunately, I would come back the next day and send.
