Reliquary Brooch 7m E3 6a

On the lower slab, on the side wall of the large detached flake / block that forms the right-hand side of Yoshimi’s starting chimney, is a steep, clean wall split by a diagonal crack.
Start up this diagonal crack (good kit), before stepping left at its termination to follow an obvious series of rounded flakes, continuing either to the left arete or more directly up the centre of the wall.
Note: We only realised this wall has been cleaned once I’d pulled on (indeed, the crack was pristine), and even seemed to feature a small amount of chalk, which must have been relatively recent – so I am interested to see whether this route is claimed by another party, or whether we’ve accidentally jumped the gun on someone else’s hard work! Its likely tech 5c / 6a; this was climbed onsight so its quite hard to tell.
