Grading seems right to me - also rated 12b in Jay Foley's "Taos Rock" book. Short and bouldery, with a great throw to a jug near the top (can follow crimps out left to avoid the throw, but the fall is nasty and sideways). Excellent route

Nice powerful route, 12b seemed right to me. Easy to onsight for the grade as the moves are easy to see from the ground and none are particularly devious just powerful. I found the top from last bolt on to be much easier, no throws were necessary.

Yep, 12b for sure. Just did it today for the first time. I thought it was a tough onsight as there is so much chalk on it! I didn't know whether to got left or straight up after the 2nd bolt!
