| According to the new "Rock Climbs of Southwest Utah, Second Edition" this route is 5.10b. This seems to assume that one avoids stemming and/or using the cracks on either side. I didn't avoid such stylistic faux pas and 5.9 seemed about right. |

| The beta I got said that this is a "face-only" climb (dr.topo). IMHO, this is a hard 5.10b start without the cracks (which can be bear-hugged past the bouldery start). Perin has the right idea of how to climb this route. Besides, the 5.9 face near the top is a whole lot more fun than nailing the sequence at the start. |
