Thanks for getting back to the topic!
I'm not sure where the "10th hardest" designation comes from; I would expect that it goes back to Tim Toula's big quest to climb the nation's hardest roof cracks back in the late 90s or so. It has seen very few ascents, but like anything in the Southeast, this could be due to conditions more than its inherent difficulty. I have heard it called more like "12+" from someone who climbed it.
Although roof cracks are not the most popular style of climbing right now, it would be cool to revamp the "10 hardest" list. I'll get right on it, since my trip to T-wall just got postponed by rain.
