For the grade, Tony's is as good a route as you will likely find. A little bit of everything and good pro to boot. The only bummer is that it isn't 5 pitches long. I would be cautious when recommending Tony's Tango to beginning leaders as there is a bit of "deviousness" to this route as is typical for Harmels. When climbing in Gunnison thinking "outside of the box" is a invaluable skill.

First lead I've ever done was Tony's and without a single cam, not that I can say that was a good idea.

It has good protection. A bit of a mind game when you start slipping out at the bulging crux. If you over protect it, the rope drag is terrible. Good lead for new leading climbers that can safely climb the grade.

A good novice lead and the little bit of exposure at the crux can make it a bit spicy for beginners. Protects well and has great stopper placements.
