It was originally given 7C+ but the general consensus is now 8A since a hold broke a few years ago.

Great effort from Leah, it's burly.

Re breakages: it started life at 7C+, then a hold broke off, Jordan Buys re-climbed it at 8A+, it remained at 8A+ for a few years then something else broke off in 2012 making it a bit easier and dropping it to its current 8A.
