More for interest than artistic merit!

I think that's actually quite a good shot of a nice problem.

I reckoned it was British 6a with sit start but! Mr Lampton felt it was Br 6b as latching the wee edge with the left hand was tough, but! I think John (Watson) has given the problems Font grades in the guide.

Did you sit start from the hole on the left? Up through the angled slot? I thought it was about V4 for the sit start.
I also did a sit start from the same place, then using and undercling for RH and the slot for LH. It then moved right and went up the crack and right arete of the block. Quite fun variation and similar grade.

The sit I did used a sharp pocket/undercling and started directly below the crack but brought you into the position in the photo. Another good eliminate is coming in from the right slapping up the blunt arete.A good wee venue, but is it grit?

Not sure, never climbed on grit!
It's certainly very gritty sandstone! (where's a geologist when you need one)
I started with LH in a large pocket/jug and made a big span up and right to the crack/slot(just below rh in picture). Sorted feet and then moved up into the position in the picture, then crimped my way to the top!

Worth more than a 2 I'd say!
