Lobbed off the crux, definately NOT 4c. Don't expect a nice, slightly run HVS, although good gear protects the crux coming out the break. Annoyed not to get this, but not to upset as its definately more like E1/E2 5b.

Only one hard move on the entire climb and it isn't 4c, more like 5b! A bombproof medium wire protects it and the rest is easy and protectable (if a bit loose). Should be VS 5b to reflect this discontinuity. Have seen two E2 leaders wobble on this route.

not hvs 4c, block missing from big break 5b moves off the ledge to ok holds and then a bit more to gear. E1/2 5b

Very easy for HVS, one 4c move, enough gear, but some lose rock towards the top!
