4 out of 5 stars just a note

I, the original poster, originally listed this climb as a 5.6. There is a bit of a stretch where good layback skills are necessary, but the climb overall is not particularly hard for me. But I am 6' 5" and after my posting of the climb, several local climbers, some much shorter than me, complained that the grade was too low. After consultation with the locals, I regraded the climb to the current rating, although I also disagree with it. Personally, I stand by my original grade of 5.6, perhaps 5.7, but I will reluctantly defer to local opinion, which is perhaps misguided, (or inexperienced), because I feel that is a little bit silly to argue about grades of climbs at this level, and also about climbs that are so infrequently climbed. Lets all just climb and have fun. Mea Culpa.
