new sequence is unfortunately only about v7 uses low pocket toe hook so it now sees many successes. 3stars

Sounds about right. I haven't done it with the toe hook which sounds like good beta, though I have done it rocking over into the low left pockets, which is a lot easier than my original (spastic!) V8+ sequence putting your foot in the starting hold. Felt like V8 this way so yeah I would guess V7 with a toe hook.

As a general point (not aimed at you bumbly since obviously I don't know how you did it!) the line went direct to top out on small crimps; I have been considering naming the method of topping out using the ledge out left at the top "Yellow Desert Whimper". Although to be fair this is a more obvious sequence too! I was just getting a little hacked by people telling me this problem was piss, when in reality they are doing a far easier version of the original! My fault really though...
