Forget An Stac on Skye.. This quarry remnant looming over the triangulation pillar is at least VS and a nanny dodge to get up. Probably a very traditional VS too. It is said to be in danger of falling, hence the defences around its base. VS is a climbing grade - very severe. Nowadays that is considered more or less the top end of the easy stuff. Traditional VS is an ominous term. Once VS was the top of the grades, so the hard stuff got that grade as well, even though very much more difficult than your standard Very Severe.
