Not that I know of but I did have a quick play on it last year and did all the moves. Incredibly painful & fingery and definately harder than the original variant. Harder than anything there except Bastard.

Incedentaly I belayed Steve McClure years ago when he onsighted to the break putting the clips in, clipping the 2nd bolt below his feet and on for a decker. Then came of on the big dirty holds. Thought this should suit me and got promptly shut down!

Sounds a bit tough for 7c+.

Entree is about 7c I'd say. Love of Money is quite hard, much harder than Lets Get Physical (which is also about 7c the way I did it and good fun). Tried it last year in very bad conditions and fell off the last move 3 times. As hard as PUTP but more sustained - font 7b/+ into a font 7b+, separated by a hard clip off a crimp. Maybe a little easier in better conditions as there's a couple of condition dependant holds at the "top" (i.e. about 4m up).
