βeta: Come to think about it when I first led it a few years on a very cold day it felt desperate, may be conditions and how well you're climbing on the day make a big difference, sorry about the earlier comment.

βeta: Sure the start is hard but the rest is okay, unless perhaps you're pumped from the start? I'm pretty sure I solo'd this in my trainers last time I was up there, horses for courses I guess.

βeta: who are you kidding: VS?? Yes, the 5b move is off the ground, but it's followed by a sequence of 5a (steep pulls followed by rockover on poor hand holds) ending in a completely bullsh*t rest and runners you wouldn't hang your cat off. Fairly hard at HVS, given that Alter Crack, Quien Sabe, Fern Crack etc are meant to be hard at VS.
