10th Anniversary of this climb is upon us. Could somebody get a 2nd ascent PLEASE? E2 aint that hard, is it?

An exposed direct start was done at the 2007 Climb Fest, left of the original start: grade remains the same. To my knowledge this route has still not seen a 2nd ascent, after 8 years. Any takers?
