3 out of 5 stars exciting is one way to describe the finish

Definitely spicy for 10b. Extremely delicate balance at the top.

4 out of 5 stars no faith

I knew where the bolt was but didn't trust myself to get there. Took a couple falls going for 5th bolt, redpoint on 2nd try. Not a single move on this climb is harder than the bottom of Plate Tectonics.

4 out of 5 stars good, but not stupendous

I enjoyed it, the moves to the anchors were nifty. However, I'm not sure why this is a 5* climb. Not to say it wasn't good, but not necessarily one of the absolute best 10's at the Red. 5th Bolt Faith was just as fun, and that's only given 3*.

2 out of 5 stars pumpy bottom, easy finish

Onsight spoler alert: no fair having the crux be clipping the 2nd bolt!

4 out of 5 stars mixed bag of fun

This route has it all: a tricky roof/undercut move to start, slightly overhanging plate-haul, then technical slab. Don't be tempted off to the jugs on the left up top, the slab moves are quality, and much less scary on lead.

4 out of 5 stars endurancy

Felt harder than 10a, but then again overhangs are not my strength.

4 out of 5 stars TR clean

Nice moves, one slightly cruxy section but otherwise quite straight-forward (at least on TR, I'm sure it's trickier on lead).

4 out of 5 stars warmup

Fun slab. The bottom is not as bad as lena_chita reported, it must have cleaned up considerably since then. First 3 bolts feel like a completely different climb from the top part.
