Not sure how this ended up as V1 - the campside face is 2 grades harder than Golden Streak, so either this is V4 (as per Simey's guide), the grade is for the other 3 faces, or people are knobs.

Done a couple of times - not greasy, nor nearly as hard as I remember from the 90's ! (But still possibly a solid V2)

Difficulty varies significantly depending on how much you are prepared to stem on the left wall. Avoiding the crack and left wall makes it depressingly difficult.

Can very nearly do the mega-throw although if you are shorter than I am (6'1") you'll need to find a different way. Outstanding problem.

Certainly isn't 25 ... More like 27 so I'll pick the middle ... much better climbing than the "All blocks" options
