Even a cave-man could beat 5heart. As long as North leads his club then the contract is defeated quite easily by South continuing clubs. This promotes North's heartJ and he still has diamondA to come.

The only danger is if North decides to lead diamondA originally. Seeing diamond5 on the table opposite, he might think of being greedy and attempt to give his partner a diamond ruff.

Not a good idea.
