Fun
Nice 5.7 trad lead. good pro and enjoyable. It's also fun to skip the crack on the right and follow the bolts for the first 20 feet or so and then meet up w/ the trad climb. You're not missing out on anything hard at the beginning and get to reduce rope drag and save gear.

Decent 5.7 for the rain
Climbed it while it was raining though the route itself was actually dry and protected. Decent 5.7 trad route and allows you to setup TR for the 5.11a sport. Beware that the left anchor is loose. I setup a mixed anchor using two pieces of gear and the right anchor.
