Fun Route
Crimpy/Thin start to juggy roofs, the finger crack through the first roof was particularly fun.

Fun!
the crux is the first move or first two moves, depending on how you approach it. Lots of balancing and trusting your toes and fingers. After the first two moves, the climb gets a lot easier. The first/two moves probably deserve a 9 rating, but not necessarily a 10a. Give it a try!

Thin, nice overhangs
Need small fingers to stick in the 2 chalked up pockets at the crux 10 feet off the ground. Going left, but avoiding WQW, can help. Overhangs have incredible jugs. You can even use a real heel hook on this one.
