Good Movement!
This route starts on decent side pulls and crimps to what I felt was the crux move, which is going from a small right hand pocket then intermediate crimp and moving to a good gaston. I'd grade this one as a softer 5.12a.

Great route!
Very fun route! Not sure on the grade. Felt about the same as Lessamir, so if we're calling that 12a than this is 12a as well, but pretty soft in the grade. Maybe a bit easier than Ctrl-Alt-Delete and easier than Yurtle. But if we're trying to keep NS grading consistent (and we should) then this is probably 12a.

Fun
not 12a tho at least with a reach. Felt 11+ on the flash. Hand jam rest in middle of route gets the pump meter back to zero before the top

Dinner with Dracula
Powerful start to an endurance finish. Crux is clipping #2 unless you extend it. I really like the flow of the bottom if you stick clip 2 and avoid 1 entirely.
Soft 12a, I think the bottom is too powerful for 11d.

step at the outset
A very nice line with some tough thin moves going past #2 to the horizontal crack above #3. A good rest is had before the finish.
As bolted, the protection requires a crux clip at #2. To eliminate the crux clip here, you can use a double quick draw combination or a 24 inch runner hung off #2. This permits the lead climber to clip the protection and head on to the horizontal crack system above #3 instead of stopping at the curving left two-finger pocket left of #2.
First run was 2012/10/28: I hung all over it and didn't much like it. Glad I got back on it today and found its flow for me.
