βeta: Feels more like hard 6a tbf, the crux being the start. Low 6a at least. Probably wouldn't deck falling off b4 2nd bolt but requires care clipping

βeta: Agree with comments - really don't bother with this. First bolt is irrelevant and second bolt is sketchy to clip - felt close to decking at one point. As well as this there are 2 big loose holds, one of which would be quite useful if it was solid. total bollox - avoid
