Is it cheating to place a wire at the red cross? And use as a hold? Otherwise it seemed hard for HVS!

dont think so

FWIW I've always put a wire here; then moved up and slightly left. It would be vey bold indeed without this runner, so I reckon it's fine as long as you don't use the wide crack or layaway holds further right - these are on a long-neglected VD (which I plan to resurrect sometime; looks like it might be worthwhile).

THanks bpmclimb - I did it again yesterday, and put the wire here, then moved left onto the smooth face again - just got another micro in (quite thin!), then went up to the jugs on small foot edges & sidepulls. Great at the grade! 5b? This route should get one star.

This is a photo of Bilbo's revenge on Eagle Rock not Bilbo on Toot Roak

Where did you get "Toot roak" from? The link to the route underneath my photo says Bilbo Eagle rock. In Goblin Combe.

This is logged on Bilbo which is VS4b on the Toot Rock buttress of Goblin Combe

It is also correctly logged under Bilbo's revenge. Just needs removing from Bilbo. Apologies for the pedantry.
