Not bad for beginner trad leads
This route is actually called Gollum and it rated a 5.6 according to the Skaha climbing guide that I have.
I found the route to be ok for beginner trad leads like myself. It takes big pieces. Indeed, it is a bit loose towards the top, but pro placements are good IMO. Required a bit of foot work on bottom half of the route.
