Cynical Pinnacle question

We climbed Turf Spreader on Cynical Pinnacle yesterday. At the top of the splitter 5.8 pitch I decided not to do the wide 5.8 and instead went left up a spider web-filled diagonal splitter on the face (really fun). Around the corner it turned into a slightly chossy bolted slab, which ended up at the rap anchors for the Center Route. I can't find the name or rating of this pitch in the book or online. Does anyone know what it is? It was a bit scary. Maybe 5.11-?

It is Tuff Turf (5.11). Would be better with some traffic, and the easiest line weaves back and forth and does not follow the bolts. You can also traverse straight left after the diagional crack to finish on Center route at around 5.10+.
