You'd certainly be in for a surprise if you did this expecting a 4b top pitch, so I'll agree with the North Wales Rock book and say 5a.

2 distinct top pitches.The 4b goes up a short wall and then leftwards up a ramp passing flakes to treach base of a shallow chimney.Top notch pitch.Bottom pitch steep and awkward.
The alternative 5a top pitch works left behind the large flakes before moving back right to join at base of the chimney.

The 5a grade comes from the Rockfax Mini Guide.
