Great Climb
Kramer says 5.8 which it probably is. It may feel 5.9 though due to the varying size of the crack and how you have to hold and protect it.
I've climbed this a bunch of times over the years, both top rope and traditional protection. Had fun every single time. Depending on the time of the year and the last rain it can be a bit slick though. Once you see it you'll know why the locals call it Elephant Butt.

Ascent Note
There seems to be a bit of confusion over the rating of this short practice crack. Here it is called 5.8, the Kramer guidebook calls it 5.8+, and the Whitelaw guidebook says it is "the standard for 5.9!" Everyone I know says it is harder than 5.8 and I agree, but it is a killer practice crack for harder stuff in the alpine setting.

great challenge
Took a few tries to get this lead cleanly, but worth the effort. Resist the urge to layback the upper crux unless you want to run it out.
