Climbing Monkey Sang (5.11c) at Malibu Creek State Park
I've done this climb literally hundreds of times so it's a warmup nowadays. The crux of the climb is around 1:20 to 1:45 (and I'm trying a somewhat new way of doing it which is why it looks a bit uncertain).
Nice! I just sent this for the first time last Sunday. I've never seen anyone use your beta for the first crux... matching on that crimp must be delicate. I'm going to forward this to my climbing partner to look at.. she might be interested in giving your method a shot. (I go up left, get the next crimp with my right, move my body over, then bump right to the jug).

Congrats! Yeah, that is how we used to do it before we discovered this new method. The match is not so bad as you might expect and the thing I like about it is that you can see your feet (I can never seem to see my feet when doing that other method, have to do it by feel).
