Reid Dowdle rated this 5.11, that suggests llb/c. To call it 11a would be a stout sandbag. Especially for the 11a leader. However, the crux can easily be surmounted by pulling on gear (french free Hoh,hoh,hoh!)

but after the first pitch crux move, nothing but classic 5.10 all the way! my favorite route at the perch!
