Yep, I fully agree with you.....far too easy for a V5 (it must be, I did it 2nd try and I was trashed!).....but doesn't it get V5 in the guide, which is why I put it in that way.....?

Is that the consensus grade? If so then I'll update the video.

We were actually eliminating some of the holds around the lip to make it feel more like a V5!

Is there a way of doing the finish to the V4 that goes direct through the roof in a graceful and stylish manner, as opposed to grovelling onto the ledge??

Nice part of Brimham that area...

Yes it does, But I've always wondered if its supposed to come further out under the roof then up, all on tiny crimps and a lot harder than V5?

But the version we're talking is no where V5 considering I did it yesterday in minging conditions. (Then went home 10 minutes after I arrived)

Superb area with the bonus of being the nearest to the car park. :bits:
