Description:
Awesome .10c hands with a couple of brief non-crux offwidth sections. The start is 5.11a at least, can be done with flaring fists to finger locks or via a crimpfest face traverse.

Aided the 11c start, onsighted the rest (10c)
I tried to do the 11c start with a fistjam - though it did stick a little, its just wasn't enough to make the move. I finally gave up and aided past the first move. Got the the rest of the of the route clean. Got an elbow, then a knee jam near the end, but nearly came off in the last few (offwidth) moves. For me the crux was the end. Of course had I not aided the start, the first move would have been the crux. I later tried to toprope the start and still couldn't do it. I've seen the start rated as 11+ and 11c - I'd believe that (though obviously the difficultly of the fistjam is hand-size dependent). Overall, a good route. The only thing that would make it better would be closer match between the difficultly of the start and the rest of the route.

Stellar
The start is harder than anything on Wangerbanger (5.11), and the rest is just awesome.
