Definitely no VS! HVS is about right. Set up ab rope (on stubby stake and gorse bushes) to protect the top-out (loose and chossy), but actually approached by abbing down the other slabs and scrambling round the bottom - which was good fun in its own right.

Not much gear to 2/3rds height, if I've got the right route - twin cracks as described in the latest Rockfax.

new stakes at top of climb - removed some of the vegetation and lose rock on climb - this is a good climb definately worth one star and possibly HVS 5A (it is harder than Armorican)
