Description:
Fun and appropriately named route. The crux is mid-way up, as you climb an overhang. Though it's rated 5.10d here, in at least one topo it's rated 5.11.a.

Finally!
After what must have been at least 10 tries, probably more like 15, I finally understood the moves needed to get over the crux.
Instead of using two slopers and trying to reach the hole with my right, I change my right hand to a side crimp, layback a bit to the right, match hands, then reach the hole with my right hand.
