Some rather specific stuff here for aficionados. Does 'Take No Notice' move left at the top to the large (usually wet) pocket, or does it finish directly via small edges on top from the reachy undercut at about 6a/6b? And does the direct version of' 'Tube Break' really go at 5b when the guidebook says the top crack of 'Tube Break' is 6b? I know it's laybackable, but you have to lean *way* out to do it, and it feels harder than 5b to me. Why the discrepancy? Thanks for any information.

In reply to Steve Parker:
Tube Break, the layback way of finishing it gets 6b and is hard, but 6a if you jam/squirm up it using various body parts.
As I see it, the direct version that gets HVS 5b is 5b if you sneak off right, avoiding the off-width finish and so isn't really cricket.
