| Floyd, In the picture (Megan with orange shirt) that's pretty much the crux. I am leaning towards agreeing with you though that it is probably 5.8. The climb feels a bit more like 5.9 if you stay more left'ish and pull the bulge after a body length. If you hook right immediately after the 1st bolt on the small bulge, I agree it is probably 5.8.
It could also be that this route is seeing a bunch of traffic and cleaning up nicely. I haven't been out there for a few weeks, so I am looking forward to getting back on it and seeing how the choss is doing! |

| Okay, having climbed it a few more times it does feel more like 5.8. |
