Managed this on Friday! The sit to Ned's problem on Candy Buttress. Thought it would definitely be 8a+ but I found slightly easier beta for the stand than Ned used and so I think the sith just keeps it at 8a. Who knows though, anyway great problem, great rock and it stays dry in the rain.

It is an unusual first move. I could pull on using the undercut in the normal way but couldn't do the big move up with my left. Pulling on pressing the undercut allowed the small left hand bump which helped move the feet for the big move. Felt a bit special doing it but it seemed to work!
