Hard work
Maybe I was beat today (too much climbing, too little sleep), but this climb seemed hard. I ran it twice and did some variation near the top where I traversed on to the face, total hands, as there were no feet.

Ape and Essence with One Finger
Right at the beginning there is a one finger hold that's insane, this was really technical and tough.
