hard for 5.8
I had just got done climbing two 5.9's on Shortoff (Construction Job and Dopey Duck) and I thought this was harder. Maybe easier with better stemming technique rather than trying to layback. Had to hang at crux. UPper pitches are a little blocky and discontinuous.

An excellent gem hidden in NC
Wow what a good climb and so unexpected. The first pitch corner is clean as a whistle and protects beautifully. I agree with goober it will feel harder than 5.8 if your jamming/laybacking technique isn't good; nothing harder than a 5.8 handjam to get through the crux. Second pitch has an awesome and exposed arete that is mentally difficult but physically not bad. The best part is the surprise when you get to the "top".
