Cannot understand the HVS grading of this route. (The definitive guide has it at E1 5a!) It's easier and better protected than the nearby Farcical Arete which is correctly graded at HS 4b.

Had previously seconded with a silly fall at the crux move which feels 5a but is very well protected. I would grade the overall climb as VS 5a.

Seemed on the light side for HVS (and I'm being conservative here), probably HS 4b. Good moves though!

Safe- hard slopers to get off the ground, followed by very well protected interesting moves to establish yourself stood on the horizontal crack. A very easy romp up the rest. Worth 5 mins of your time.
