Did it with the higher left hand so taking a 6. I could be wrong, but just based on pictures and the FA video, the ground seems quite a bit higher now than it was before. Low left hand is very much still possible, but to me felt very uncomfortable and detracts from the flow. I also used whatever holds were available as that just seemed like the best flow.

Much easier than the other direction, which should not have the same name since it shares only one move. But a good climb nonetheless. Top out a bit scary.
