Yeah, i would not reccommend it as a first 17..

Two good 17s I have found would be Dirge and Swinging. Dirge has very good pro, and great stances to place it from, it just repeats being a couple of hard moves, than a good stance to place gear, etc etc. The crux is at the top, not much harder than what you have done, just looks a bit more difficult.

Swinging, classic 17 face climb, bolt protected, short and sweet

Cheers
