Thanks, all the talk about page editing on the forum got me thinking... :-)
Anyway i think you are right , the crux isn't really the crux. It is uncomfortable and awkward, but not hard. It is mainly the pshychological effect of the overhang that makes it worthy of the crux title.
I have talked to some people, including an alpine guide, and they seem to think the hardest passages should be graded 6a, what do you think?
