Nice
On a Top Rope, this feels considerable easier than 10 D

Awesome, fun climb.
One of the more interesting, moderate climbs around. I first TR'ed this route, but like the description says, very awkward - you face quite a pendulum if you slip in the wrong place. I also tried trad - there's a fair amount of places for cams (I used Camelots, .75 to 2).

Good
Hard start, but once onto the crack the holds are all there, even if the feet aren't great.

.10d?
On top rope, so I stopped about 15 feet short of the bolts because I was way left of them. I also started up the slab under the crack because it was interesting. Wouldn't rate my ascent harder than .10b.
