I key foothold has been broken off at the second crux bit. While there's still enough of a bump to use, it will be much harder now to see the hold and figure out how to use it. Consequently the on sight rating may be a harder than 5.11.
Good luck amigos.

Got on this yesterday and could not even get up it. The lower section is funky and painfully sharp. The much touted second half is supposed to be good. I found the bottom so unpleasant that I bailed.

I got on this after Eric. While I don't share his distain for this route it's a total sand bag at 5.11. The upper 1/2 is pretty good.
The broken foothold didn't seem to make it any harder.
