What do you mean in your caption?

Looking at that photo, being there would make me beg for solitude! (nothing against the photo per se, you understand)

Hi Jon, Without a very large cam it's difficult to protect the crux, once committed into the crux a fall would be a ground fall, probably catching the ledge en-route! It's only one move but I've done better protected VS 5a's! ;-)
Hi Fraser, Only choose Stanage on sunny Saturdays if your feeling sociable.

Ah OK, I didn't realise you were referring to one of those routes. Which one is it?
VS 5a's are better protected than VS 4c's, of course!

Hi Jon,
It's beggars Crack, some say VS 5a, BUT originally it was graded HVD in 1951.
If you haven't got a guide book for Stanage you can see Zoom in to see it here.
