Great climb. The crux is the obvious bulge by the only bolt. Go for the undercling and step with high feet. From there follow the crack - I mostly relied on lefts in the crack and rights on the face on small holds/dikes.
Snap links at the top for an easy rappel. I think the 5.9 is if you stay left of the bulge, the 10a is staying right near the bolt.

I really enjoyed this little route, and 'short but sweet' is definitely a good description. Crack width was perfect for practicing hand and fist jams, and the rock wasn't so rough it left me with any 'handburger'. You could also run an off crack variation which seemed to me a bit more difficult.
