Did P2
P2 is very interesting. It's hard to get started (use the tree), and it's tough to find gear for the first 20 feet (unless you go right). There is loose rock below the crux, be very careful. Crux was easy and fun. Finish was up through a jungle. Rap is over to to climbers left. Tree was a bit suspect, make sure you inspect the slings as well.

Raining
What to do? climb the easy un-named climb, traverse and set up a TR on Rauncy. Climbed it in the rain. Makes the opening moves crazy stupid!

Felt a bit easier today
The unprotected slab start is a little scary (if one was to lead this climb).

Harder than it looks
If you exit the corner sooner rather than later, the climbing eases way up.
