Brian nearing the top of Circus Circus, the route ...
Description
Rated as a 5.6, but I don't think a 5.6 leader would be happy on the crux lower portion. The area around the first and second bolts will be exciting if you think you're on a 5.6. Considerably harder than Progressive Slot (5.6) down the wall.
Location
In the corner to the right of a big alcove. A small, adorable, backpack-eating mouse lives in a notch at the bottom of the climb. Hide your Clif Bars.

IMHO I would agree that although not tough by no means, 5.6 (guidebook) especially at the beginning might be a tad bit sandbag. Expect a 5.7 and you'll probably be ready, have fun!!
An awkward 5.7 at best. I agree that a 5.6 leader would most likely end up bailing on this thing. And beyond that, I didn't think it was a very fun climb at all, so why bother. I used the adjacent face to the left a lot. Is that off route?

the first two bolts were definitely not a 5.6 beyond that it's an ok climb if you can clear your head
