This is my lead of Alexandria in Dalkey Quarry, Dublin, Ireland. The grade is 6b E6 in UK scale.
Protection: peg on 9m, yellow bd cam in questionable flake (~14m), two 6kn nuts in a thin crack just above the flake (~15m), the route is 20m. Would rate it as 7a+ (fr) if it would be bolted...
Route description from Dalkey Quarry guide book:
An excellent route with some exciting moments. Takes a line below the point where the top of the steep wall meets the top of the Ghost Slab. Climb boldly up to a peg at 9m, traverse left then move up a shallow groove to an undercut flake. Make a difficult pull left to enter a second shallow groove. Another hard move is made to exit the groove, moving slightly left to a breathtaking finish.
helps if u dont put a typo in the title of ur own video.

It was RP, after some considerable work on the route. Good luck, this route is beautiful and really worth of leading.
