Great Climb
Kramer says 5.8 which it probably is. It may feel 5.9 though due to the varying size of the crack and how you have to hold and protect it.
I've climbed this a bunch of times over the years, both top rope and traditional protection. Had fun every single time. Depending on the time of the year and the last rain it can be a bit slick though. Once you see it you'll know why the locals call it Elephant Butt.
