It's now bigger and takes a bigger hex that holds. Crack widens - the big cams get a guernsey. Crack flares more to about 80-90degrees, gets shallower and the rock a little harder. Place a biggish Tricam in it and bounce it down the crack until it sticks. I'm only about 6 m below the belay now.
Next placement is a mini-hex.
Little hex seats well and is bomber on bounce. Get up to the top step looking for my next placement and suddenly I'm logging some more frequent flyer points headfirst with gear slapping around my head. I clip the Tricam in the flare for good luck - it hasn't moved anyway. I've also lost a bit of my enthusiasm for leading the last pitch, even though it's the shortest. Nine bolts in various stages of decay peppered in no particular pattern over about 2-3msquare.
