How did you pick around that 90 degrees warding with your half diamond? Looks like it's hard to access that second row of pins, but maybe that's only how it looks.
I angle the pick at almost 45 degrees and go in from the center. The pins can be lifted a little without being over lifted, there's some room under them, just enough for my pick.
Day 120 of 366. No matter what I try, I can only pick these two to control. I've also tried going ccw but nothing changed, the control sleeve binds first.
