Don't bother. Lots of easy climbing to a VERY contrived crux. It is too easy to just climb completely around the intended crux that it gives you pause to consider.

The hardst bit is at the bulge at, about, the half way mark. I did a series of drop-knee moves up to the side-pull with my left hand. I don't know about the grade, but it is ballpark. An interesting route. I didn't enjoy the routes on this side of the river, in fact, I thought that most of them stank like shit.

Nicest 11 at Rutherford. The climbing is sustained right up to the prominent corner.

Easy for the grade, and a real one move wonder. If you can find the knee-bar, and get into it quickly enough at the roof, this one will be a cake walk. 11+

A nice climb that keeps you thinking. The crux is encountered as you make your way onto the finishing slab.

A very nice route. Some are intimidated by the runout at the crux. There is a magnificent jug just above that bolt.

Nice climb, and despite the protests from the peanut gallery, this one is easy for the grade. Don't fall at the crux (The last move).

Easy if you can do a hand jam, fucking impossible if you can't.
