βeta: Any placements that once protected the crux seemed very poor or have blown, HVS justified.

βeta: Climbed this using the Lancs guide. Thought it seemed very bold for VS, so HVS seems about right. The gear for the crux is not great, managed to get a friend 00 to the left and a small wire to the right. The wire looked very iffy... Also some of the rock in the break is a little friable especially when wet, had a chunk come off in my hand!
