First HVS, though feels a bit short and easy to really count. Really satisfying crux move.

Nice. Think it's def 5a/easy 5b? for those who can't reach the break without a step up. Maybe just when it's a bit green, argh! Committing on no 2 BD c3 cam lhs and no 1 nut rhs both directional so nice narrow gap to fall between ideally! BD c3 no 0 goes in when you've moved up.
Batt - Lead O/S - 07/Aug/10 with Alex Young

such a long reach for me under the nose it was unbelievable- after numerous swinging falls from the "crux for shorties aka duck's disease" move I gave up to try next time!!
