I think the hold that broke off, was a foothold low down. Without it, it is bloody desperate, for me anyway! harder than 5a? |

This was also done on a top belay. Big lunging move to start which requires total commitment because if you miss the hold you will not be able to regain your stance. The next 5 moves are good quality hand holds with small notches for your feet. There is one move at the top which requires a bit of thought. A.Tees mentioned that a hold on the first move has broken off which might bump the grade slightly higher. |
