Used to be a vdiff before the bottom fell off!

Nice route, but have to question the grade, could come all the way down to VS. Hardest move at the bottom and if you can't get it, you're unlikely to get high enough to get into trouble, gear is small but seems good and easy to place, difficulties ease quite quickly. Get it ticked while it's still E1!
