βeta: Thought it was first HVS turns out its only VS, which it should be pretty easy climb.

βeta: I thought it was easy for a HVS, it's more like a VS than a HVS, the best moves are at the last section and loads of gear placements if needed, still a good route though.

βeta: P.S. Nova, to the right, is much better.

βeta: Following the curving crack (leftwards) at the top probably warrants HVS, but most of the climb is too easy and mucky.

βeta: So where's the 5a move?? I thought the 4b move on Nova next door was harder than anything on here. Very pleasant route but it can't be HVS 'cause I led it.

βeta: The BMC guide shows the top out as using the right hand crack. If you go direct up the curving crack it is a bit harder and I think it may warrant an easy HVS. If not it is certainly hard for VS.

βeta: This can't possibly be HVS - no more than VS 5a or even 4c. Gets very sandy after rain, but never-the-less a nice route.
