My first 5.8 trad lead! As much as i'd like to say I lead a 5.9, every other source has this at 5.8. Start is the crux, you're moving off a boulder into a crack above your head while there's a 7' rocky fall below you. Luckily below the vertical crack, there's a horizontal crack that you can place pro. An anchor can be set on a nice vertical crack slightly to the right of the finish.

Easy access, great pro
Done as a simulated lead with a guide. There's only one move of 5.9 at the start, the rest felt 7ish. Great climb to learn on. It took tons of pro.

Soft
and fluffy for 5.9, don't be afraid of the crappy looking flakes near the top they are solid enough.
