one more to go
Now I only have one more 5.8 and below to climb at the Red. End of a rainy day, climb was mostly dry but slick at the bottom; started in the crack to the left.

O.K.
I think the rating was arrived at by applying the law of averages: "one 5.10 move in an otherwise 5.6 climb-- calling it 5.10 would be ridiculous, so let's call it 5.8+."
I won't be recommending this climb to anyone, but it was O.K. to do it once...
