Where was the 5.5- bit?
Nice climb, runout in places but not at the crux. Everything looks way harder than 5.5-, until you give it a try. Just before the ledge is a bit harder after my second knocked off a big foot. No pine tree at the end of P1 anymore, just a small tree and a slings behind a rock.

Some decking potential
Be careful on the 1st pitch if this is near your limit.

Found a blackberry, but no blueberries
Fun climb. P1 is a little runout, but the gear's there -- just not too obvious, and not abundant. Safe enough, though. (Disclaimer: read no further if you don't want beta!) Oh, and there's a pin to protect the crux move -essentially allowing you to do it on toprope, as the pin is just over the small roof and therefore above the crux - which is heartening. P2 and P3 are just straightforward, fun climbing.
