2 out of 5 stars hard for a 10b

I've always thought this climb was hard for the grade, harder than the 10d on the other side of the slab. It took years, but I finally TR'd it clean on 9/13/09. Finally led 11/8/09. When you know the sequence, the crux may be a legit 10b move, but it's very hard to read.
