Ok so a v6 move to me is a v2 to all you guys.. really, i don't care? Well, we don't intend to downgrade your ratings. We're just saying that the rating is going to be quite high if there is as serious a lack of rests as you say there are. Look at a route like Kick Me In The Jimmie at the RRG. There's probably no sequence on there harder than V2, but it's rated 5.12a because there are no great rests if 5.12a is your limit. Now compare that with your route: 25 meters of sustained V4 climbing with V5 and V6 cruxes (as many as five?) in there. Take the same idea that goes into grading Kick Me in the Jimmie, and you'll see that your route would probably be graded quite highly.
