Found this harder than 5.7, especially at the bottom with the polished rock. The guidebook also has this at 5.8.

AAA
Tough start, yep, polish is the word for Carderock. Began at the left then worked my way to the right and up. Fun climb!

Nice!
Did this from the left of the flake. It was a footwork problem and balancing, at least for me (shorty). Could not get friction at all when I tried to start with a layback on the flake.
