pretty necky move on the crux, pretty sure you could deck out from rope stretch.

HVS 5b is fair if you're tall, but it still took me about half an hour to figure out the move...

saet1a - 2nd - 30/Sep/11

Philippa Arding - 2nd - 30/Sep/11 with nick arding

felt easier today , hard move is probably 5c and a bit reach/height dependant as to whether you think its easy or hard

GrendeI - 2nd - 25/Oct/09 with Shaun

awesome moves in the crux 5b, but i think more like a 5c as very commiting and technical - great fun. even in 70mph winds and rain!!!
