I think V5 is at least a two grade sandbag. I've sessioned this thing with a few different friends who routinely dispatch V7+ pretty quickly, and nobody has ever even done the top throw let alone linked it up from the sit. Who knows though. prolly little harder than V5 from the sit.

Having little intimacy with the V-Scale, you could be correct. I too have spent many hours on this beauty, sans the send. The rating posted is a reflection of a V-Scale translation to the original rating of 5.12 Maybe at the time (as with many climbs) the FA folks dared to rate things harder than the given "hard" rating of the day...
