3 out of 5 stars Can I count this as my first 5.10 lead?

I climbed it once before on TR. Today I finally led it even though I wasn't feeling too great. Guidebook calls it a low 10; I have a hard time saying if it's more like a 9 or a 10. Probably a 9+ with one 10a move. But hey, I'll take it. =)

People complain about the sliminess of the crack but honestly it's very well protected so it's really not that bad.
