3 out of 5 stars not a 5.11

the first half of the climb is easy (5.5) as long as the rock doesn't disintegrate under your hands and feet (belayer beware).
the next 1/4 is decent (10a?). the last 10 feet - the crack variation - is the hardest part. and it is hard for me at times, but i would never give it more than a 10c.

3 out of 5 stars Not a 5.11 in the least

I'm 5'6" and the last move which is the hardest especially for short people is not a 5.11. at the most a 5.10c/d because taller people can finesse it with ease but shorter people just have to spend a little more time to grab that monster last hold to head over the top but it doesn't put it into 5.11 range.

5 out of 5 stars Fun crux

The crux at the thin crack variation left of the roof is a fun problem to work out and solve! It's important to get your feet high. There's not much foothold to support you but it's enough to keep you in place with your hands in the right places to slowly raise each hand to the next spot.
