Anybody know what to do for the crux.... felt totally desperate, and couldn't really make any headway at all on the lower bulge.
---beta---Follow crimps up until a good edge next to a bolt, use a thin undercut to re-arrange your hands so that you can cross over LH into the good undercut.From this go to a blocky sidepull below the roof out right (get your thumb on), step through then get block on lip with LH, obvious edge with RH. Left foot flat on the wall, right foot out on a spike, LH up to the obvious downwards facing pinch, get it on its RHS. Right foot to obvious blackened corner, flag left foot way under, RH comes into block right by your hand, index finger needs to be on top of this. Flag further and go RH again into crimpy undercut (crux). LH flips to the undercut next to the pinch. Stand up and get RH fingers into sika thumb outside of the block. clip extended draw above (you'll have skipped one). LH goes to little undercut. (entering RP crux). Left foot onto high small edge just under overlap, right pasting on a flat bit of wall just over an overlap. LH into akward undercut (pinch hard!). Step rightfoot by your left knee onto a grey bump, left foot goes out to dotty crozzly rock. deadpoint onto the small crimp. Match feet and stab your left foot onto the blocky hold on powerplant (first remove frenchman from said hold). drop RF off, lefthand goes again into good undercut. RF in to block (clip). Take high sharp pinchy crimp and paste LF high and lock/rock into the good tickmarked hold in the big undercut of powerplant. Shake, rest and scuttle off up and rightwards via one more bolt to the belay!
It felt desperate because it is. Definitely 8b I reckon.
