this route felt more VS 4c. Steeper than it looks, making it an effort to place gear lower

There are 2 distinct ways of climbing the nose. 1. Pull out left from the niche and then the easy wide crack at 4B or 2 Climb the crack direct and then the headwall starting on it's right hand side and using an obvious pocket as a foothold . 4C or 5A ?

I found the move through the top overhang a little too hard for the suggested grade, so I moved further to the right, over the steep rock to the right of the overhang, then up and back left.I felt this warranted the VS 4c grade and feel that the direct would be technically harder
