We didn't finish the route due to thunderstorms so I shouldn't really comment on its overall quality, but...

I don't feel that there were any 5.9 moves on the lower half of the route. It's not very sustained--maybe 3-4 5.8 moves followed by 10-20 feet of what feels like climbing stairs.

It's safe--it felt like clipping in a gym, and I was able to pull on the draw above me while holding onto the one below when the lightning came.

Please note that I was in a bad mood that day having climbed for 6 straight days and getting a little burntout.

If you are an aspiring 5.10 leader looking for a good way to introduce yourself to a multipitch route this is probably your best bet in Boulder Canyon. In fact if this describes you I would highly recommend it.

If you've done more than single pitch sport already, I wouldn't waste your time unless your buddies really, really, really want to go.

thin and balancy but certainly not 11a, the crux move has a bomber handhold, and relative to Kijiugushi it can't be 11a

highball boulder. the start feels way harder than 5.9; it goes at V2 at the least, I think. It is probably highly dependent on the size of your hands. The rest of the problem is not very hard at all.
