We aided the dihedral on pitch 4. It's a very shallow rounded offwidth with a kind of seam that appears on one side after a few feet. Kostas ran it out up to where the seam started and began to pump out and managed to plug in a couple of tcu's. It was about 20 more feet of direct aid in the corner to where it got easier again.
I freed a bunch of it on TR but started pulling on gear to get through it faster. It's a weird mix of gastoning, laybacking, stemming, and body englishing in the OW all at the same time.
