I believe so, since the slab start crux also goes at 10a, as I recall. The other 10a crux is the awesome hand crack up top.
Or, put a blue nut in 8ft off the deck, grab the horn, and then have fun with the rest of the climb. There's surprisingly little rope drag here. And the crux is more mental than anything else.
Some people butt smear the right wall keeping their feel on the left wall and claim it makes it 5.2. I never managed to wrap my head around that one and still feel like the start is for real...
