DEFINITELY NOT 5.10. 5.5/5.6 at most!
And yes, there is gear available unlike what the decription here suggest. Walk in the park and a forgettable climb at that.

Top Rope ascent by:
5.6 variation
Followed the ramp up right to the flake then continued left across to where the finger crack "Andropov's Cold" converges with the route. Kind of weird gear - need a C4 #4 or two for the big open area behind the ledge/flake or it's R (you'd pendulum and deck if you *somehow* slipped off that ledge w/o the #4). Was on TR/mock-lead for a clinic. Pretty easy route w/o many fun moves, maybe a slight crux coming up at the convergence point.

Keep it tight ascent
Pretty straightforward 5.10 you don't need to think about to top it.
