downgrade
On the main route (no stemming), Rona suggested 10a. Beta spoiler. I went up the start keeping my left shoulder toward the wall through the crux. Definitely easier than the next route on the right.

FA - hey, that's me!
It's pretty wild to be stemming on limestone, but here you have it. Go ahead and give stemming off two walls a try. It's pretty cool. Climb is currently very slippery at the bottom 10 feet or so, however with more traffic it is sure to improve.
